The old woman commits suicide in Fahrenheit 451 because she knows that her books are going to be burned, along with her house. She would rather die than have to live in a world where her possessions get her in trouble and her things burned and destroyed.

How did Adolf Hitler Drive his own Family to Suicide?

That would be stretching a point. Hitler's only living relative (close) at the time of his death was his wife Eva Braun, whom he had married only hours before. And Braun had decided to commit suicide and die with Hitler months before the fact. The other relative of Hitler that committed suicide was his niece Geli,whom he may or may not have had an affair with. She committed suicide, but Geli was at best an "unbalanced" young woman, and it is jumping to conclusion to say that she committed suicide because of Hitler.
