Hitler Youth: The Hitlerjugend admitted children at the age of 10, and continued until the age of 18. It was organized on a military pattern and prepared a young man to become a soldier or an SS. The young men were indoctrinated with the Nazi ideology Girls, at the age of 10, joined the Jungmadelbund (League of Young Girls) and at the age of 14 transferred to the Bund Deutscher Madel (League of German Girls). Girls had to be able to run 60 metres in 14 seconds, throw a ball 12 metres, complete a 2 hour march, swim 100 metres and know how to make a bed
Jews were often forced to ride the “death trains.” This is how Hitler managed to transfer thousands of Jews at a time. The trains came from all over the place and all ended at concentration or “death” camp. Fortunately some Jews were able to jump off of the trains and escape to safety if they weren’t caught in hiding. Of Course Hitler had lied to many of the people saying they were going to cleaner, healthier places. But once they arrived at the destination it was to late to escape and they were forced into the camps. The cars were often filled with 150 prisoners. They didn’t have water, food, ventilation, or anything of the sort. They didn’t get bathroom breaks of any kind and an average trip took about 4 days.
Unfortunately people protested against the holocaust and said that it never existed. Many of the Germans claim that the holocaust never happened or at least they didn’t know anything was going on or something would have been done about it sooner. E-mails were even sent around saying schools were taking the holocaust out of the curriculum because it never existed Example 1:(Submitted, April 2007) In MemoriamRecently this week, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Moslem population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russia peoples looking the other way!Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be"a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgetsThis e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.
