About "Through Innocent Eyes - The Chosen Girls of the Hitler Youth"
Hidden for more than 50 years, a daughter's heritage is revealed when she finds her mother's personal journal from the time she was in the Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls).
About Country Service Year Camp (Landjahr Lager)
Through the power of camaraderie, the BDM girls in the Country Service Year Camp (Landjahr Lager) program were taught how to build their character in a friendly and fun atmosphere.
The educational curriculum was designed by the Reich’s Ministry of Science, Education and Culture. The focus was to build the girl’s individual potential to become a productive member in society.
Their education went beyond the traditional home economics, sports activities, and child rearing as we have all come to believe. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, these girls developed their interpersonal mental, physical, and spiritual skills. Their challenging assignments included thought provocative discussions, problem-solving activities, and team-building exercises, which ended in their daily prayer.
They contributed to local society by working with the farmers, holding theatrical plays, giving musical performances and organizing festivals for the townspeople.
By the time these girls graduated, they could move onto their chosen vocation from becoming a health service girl to working in agriculture, hospitality, retail, in the office, or assist mothers in home management and childcare. Each girl had an exact understanding of her individual responsibilities and duties to her community. It was a great honor to be chosen for Landjahr Lager.
It will be my honor to personally meet you. This is part of the D-Day Conneaut, Ohio WWII re-enactment and the Conneaut Public Library graciously invited me to give two presentations. I am very honored to be a part of the community.
