HITLER YOUTH

  

Hitler Youth 1933-1945:   Hitler abolished all other youth groups in Germany. In the 1930s, there were over 100,000 members between the ages of ten and eighteen in “Hitler Youth;” by December 1933 they numbered two million. In 1939, 82% of the eligible youth belonged to the Nazi movement. They wore uniforms, sang the same songs, focused on conformity, and were used as a tool to undermine traditional family and community structures and traditions. The “League of German Girls” were taught nursing, cooking, child care, sewing and sports like gymnastics. Boys were paramilitary and trained in Nazi ideology, physical fitness, and sports like boxing. Tragically, at the end of the war old men and youth in their early teens were forced to serve in the “Home Guard” defending Germany. Thousands in these “boy brigades” perished.

KIDNAPPING (SYSTEMIC) OF CHILDREN UNDER AGE 8: SUPPOSED DESCENDANTS OF GERMAN SETTLERS

  Kidnapping (systemic) of children under age of 8 “racially valuable” supposed descendants of German settlers: Over 200,000 children in Europe from: Poland, Russia, France, Ukraine, Belarus, Bohemia, Moravia (Czech Republic), and Slovenia were kidnapped by the Nazis. Toddlers were adopted by SS families, others were sent to German boarding schools for Germanization, forbidden to speak their native language, they were then adopted and raised as Germans. Children were later executed if they did not meet the “desired/acceptable racial and population growth values .”   Ideologies: racial superiority, antisemitism, and expansionism of the Third Reich. Tens of thousands of teenagers were kidnapped and sent to forced labor camps for the German war machine. Records were destroyed so reunification with families of origin was not possible after the war. Most of their families perished in the Holocaust.

Irena Sendler’s (Life in a Jar. (2011). Jack Mayer) (Saving the Children of the Holocaust. (2024). Helen Constantine) 2,500 Babies Rescued from the Warsaw Ghetto Part Two:

The Soviets viewed Irena as subversive in 1945, so she never told her story. In 1999, U. S. News and World Report did an article on The Other Schindlers and their efforts to rescue Jews from the Nazis during World War II. In early 2000, high school students from Kansas won a state history competition and created a play (10 minutes) about Irena Sendler called Life In A Jar. Irene hid lists of children in a jar and buried it in her friend’s back yard under an apple tree. In 2001, these students from Kansas visited Irena in Poland which drew national and international media coverage. They performed the play, returned over several years to spread the word, and to meet with Irena. Since the story unfolded, Irena won the Order of White Eagle from Poland. In 2007, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and in 2009, she was given the Humanitarian Award from the Audrey Hepburn Foundation. The heroism of her workers and the Polish Resistance came to light through Irena Sendler’s story....

BUFFALO SOLDIERS: PART ONE

The U. S. War Department during WWII was led by racists who viewed Africa American soldiers as unsuitable for combat. The soldiers were tasked with support and labor battalions, freight delivery, and kitchen work. The Tuskegee Airmen of the Mediterranean Airforce 99 th Pursuit Squad, 332 nd Fighter Group, and the 761 st the Black Panthers for Patton’s Tank Battalion served late in the war due to a critical need for manpower. The Buffalo Soldiers served in Italy in the winter of 1944. 100,000 troops were moved to Normandy which left the Allies vulnerable to the dug-in Nazis at the Gustav and Gothic defense lines. The Division patch bore a black buffalo on a green background; the soldiers so named by the Native Americans. The African American cavalry soldiers of the 1800’s were fierce fighters like their sacred buffalo, brave, and tenacious. Black soldiers had the spirit of a charging buffalo and a physical resemblance to the warriors of the Plains with black curly hair and dark skin....
