Hitler Youth







Bartoletti, S. (2005). Hitler Youth. NY: Scholastic.

Hitler came to power on the shoulders of many men, however, few know that Hitler also stood on the shoulders of many young children. With a focus on the youth army  Hitler created, this book collects the stories of some of the significant contributors to Hitler’s camp. Likewise it focuses on those who defied Hitler and paid the ultimate price.
