Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler’s Shadow
12 young people’s stories are intertwined in this overview of the Hitler Youth. Hitler’s skill in manipulating teenagers and their parents is chilling, as are the atrocities that “children” were willing to commit. These atrocities stand in sharp contrast to the acts of heroism and bravery, also commited by teenagers who had everything to lose. My one complaint about the book is that with 12 different stories being told simultaneously, it is difficult to keep everyone straight.
