You and Your Folk

$10.00

Translated from the Third Reich original Du und Dein Volk. Given to German boys and girls when they finished basic school, this booklet summarizes basic concepts such as folk, fatherland, Reich, race, duty, comradeship and patriotism. Most of all, it encourages them to become productive members of the folk community, parents of healthy families and devote their life energy to Germany. Inspirational examples throughout history and quotations from German literature (whose beauty unfortunately is diminished in translation) reinforce the central ideas. Furthermore, they provide the contemporary reader with an indication of the moral and spiritual maturity of the youth in Nazi Germany.
