what if individual historical figures were brought to the present day - George Washington or JFK to the modern USA, Hitler to modern Austria, Mao to modern China?

No he wouldn't. Now the insane lunatic who claimed to be Mao would get secure accommodate where he could be treated for his illness. Its just a pity that the lapse in security meant his suicide bid was successful.  Seriously, I could see that happening in most such cases, even without ulterior political motives as someone claiming to be Washington or Hitler say simply wouldn't be believed.
With anyone from about a century ago, and in some places less, their likely to be appalled at some of the changes that have occurred, especially in terms of social and political change.

Also how to prove it is Moa, the Chinse can claim it is a clone ore even a imposter, nobody will ever beleive it. And looking about Hitler, well you just have to watch the movie Look Who's Back |

What about bringing Jane, Arnna and Grant Beaumont from 1966 to 2018? or any famous criminal or victim?

True, although to paraphrase an old movie about him, Jack the Ripper was a monster in Victorian times but today, Jack is an amateur. |
