Fascism in childhood and youth
-
Fascism was a subject,
-
because of the experiences that we picked up from the immigrants.
-
In our youth group we invited immigrants from Austria and Germany to tell their story.
-
We already knew before the high finance and the generals
-
pushed the power towards the Nazi leading clique:
-
Hitler means war.
-
We not only grew into the anti-fascist fight,
-
but as well into the fight for peace. It was the same question to us:
-
the anti-fascist fight and the fight for peace.
-
That obviously assumed that we threw light on it.
-
After my youth consecration, when I left school, I took part in my first Marxist seminar.
-
There, young people who were interested,
-
learned all the basics if they wanted to become a functionary of the labour movement.
-
So they were not only practical experiences that were being reflected,
-
but we also had seminars learning to deal with the political opponent.
-
For example, it was obligatory for a functionary of the socialist youth
-
to have read Hitler’s book ‚Mein Kampf’.
-
We could tell the Nazi officials, who didn’t know as well as we did, what the real aims were.
-
They did not believe that Hitler wanted war.
