Description
Through Innocent Eyes: The Chosen Girls of the Hitler Youth In 1941, Gertrude, a thirteen-year-old girl from Austria, embarked on a remarkable journey as a chosen girl of the League of German Girls. Her story, as recorded in her private journal, offers a unique perspective on the turbulent times of the Third Reich. Gertrude's experiences, including her time in the Country Service Year Camp program, reveal the strength and resilience of the women who were part of this organization. As Gertrude navigated the challenges of war, she formed strong bonds with her roommates and found ways to cope with the difficulties of her situation. Her story is one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the power of female relationships. Through her journey, Gertrude's experiences in Austria and beyond provide a fascinating insight into the lives of women during this period of history. Gertrude's story comes to an end in 1946, when she meets her first love and returns to America, making a new life for herself in Greenwich, Connecticut. This personal and historical account is a powerful exploration of one woman's experience during a pivotal moment in history.
