THE HITLER YOUTH!

By: Keyana McPherson

Quote-“My program for educating youth is hard. Weakness must be hammered away. In my castles of the Teutonic order. A youth will grow up, which the world will tremble.I want a brutal, domineering, fearless, cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes...That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication…That is how I will create new order.”- Adolf Hitler
