Who were the participants?
The Hitler Youth program started out as just for boys. But the Nazi's began to form girl's units in 1923. The boys and girls were usually kept separate. There are hardly any photographs of boys and girls together. No Jews were permitted in the program. If a child had 1 or 2 Jewish grandparents, they were considered Mischlings and could join. However, if they had 3 Jewish grandparents they were thought to be Jews and could not join. The person must have no physical illness, and must be physically fit or quickly able to become fit. Hitler did not allow people with disabilities to join. If the children failed to join it could have disastrous effects on not only them, but there entirely family. The parents were responsible for making sure that their children attended, so if they did not, it reflected badly on the parents. Each child had a membership book. Each book had the child's basic information and a photograph of them. The books were used to keep track of monthly dues, and more. To learn more about the participants and membership, click [|here].
