A Hitler Youth in Poland, Paperback / softback Book

A Hitler Youth in Poland Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Between 1933 and 1945, more than three million children between the ages of seven and sixteen were taken from their homes and sent to Hitler Youth paramilitary camps to be ""toughened up"" and taught how to be obedient Germans.

Separated from their families, these children often endured abuse by the adults in charge.

This mass phenomenon that affected a whole generation of Germans remains almost undocumented.

In this memoir, Jost Hermand, a German cultural critic and historian who spent much of his youth in five different camps, writes about his experiences during this period.

Hermand also gives background into the camp's creation and development.
