Bartoletti, S. (2005). Hitler Youth. NY: Scholastic.
I had no idea that Hitler brain washed the youth of Germany during his reign of terror. The book shares stories from youth who lived through the experiences of the Hitler Youth as males and females. Each sex had slightly different experiences. Males were taught to survive and protect Socialism. Girls were in the BDM and were taught how to be proper ladies in a socialism society. I the book several of the individuals stated how their parents warned them not to become involved, but over time they had no choice but to let their children become part of the Hitler Youth. This book is a different experience from Hitler's reign that is not widely discussed, but has merit to be shared and understood.
