WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1948 War Bride Reveals Horrors Of Life Under Hitler Rule (This is the first in a series of three articles relating life under Nazi dictatorship experienced by Mrs. Wallace Culver, wife of a graduate sociology student, as told to Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.) "You do not know how strange it seemed to me when the press openly ridiculed their leader. Only in America could 'Piano-playing Harry' be cartooned singing the 'Misery Waltz'," said the German war-bride. The tiny brunette explained how, like a giant hypnotist, the Nazis dictated everything the people could say, think, and worship. Those who escaped the spell disappeared. "The party had more power over a child than its father or mother. Hitler Youth "When I was 13 or 14, it became compulsory for all children to join the Hitler Youth Organiza tion. Those refusing received let ters from their teachers. They knew that further resistance meant expulsion and trouble for the family. "I did not mind at first . . . it was like your Girl Scouts. We swig and hiked. But soon its tone changed." • Meeting Replaces Classes Saturday classes ceased and a second Hitler Youth meeting was substituted, Mrs. Culver recalled. All missed meetings had to be made up three or four times, and every Hitler Youth was required to write 12 essays praising Hitler. The war-bride, who arrived in this country on September 6, said she first felt the New Order in 1933, when a majority of votes swept Hitler into power as Chan cellor. Her father was among those who berated the Social-Democrats and Communists for not uniting to keep him from office. "The Nazis were always proud of their 'bloodless' revolution . . . as it appeared to outsiders. Jewish Purge "Before this year, my teacher had associated with the wealthy family of two Jewish girls in my class. But 'suddenly his friendship vanished and he began to treat the girls very cruelly. I was too young to understand why." The girls' relatives were taken, away, and they cried in school and could not sleep at nights, Mrs. Culver said. But she could not worry about them because she feared for her own father. The grocer, neighbors and friends had warned the family of Gestapo in quiries concerning them. Soon aft erward her uncle was taken away. Nordic Christ The tiny brunette explained how the whole educational pro gram bad changed. The story of William Tell was banned because of the ominous similarity between the Swiss tyrant in the tale and Der Fuhrer. "We were no longer permitted to worship a Jewish Christ. Warp ed New Qrder logic proved that because of a Nordic migration to the Holy Land, Christ was of the 'Super-race.' "In our school lobby, there was a bust of Adolph . . . no matter if we passed it a hundred times a day, we had to salute and 'Heil Hitler.' Sometimes it was comical, but you did not dare laugh." Minds Poisoned The German teacher's word was law, the immigrant explained. Through him the New Order was systematically and unrelentlessly poisoning the minds of German youths. She questioned if Ameri can youths would not have been manufactured into the same war- HEY GANG! - erNC,,,_ 3-;.4:E:::;:i.:*::Mii:x.izi,:::;::::::::•::•.:i::::: , 1 \ \ tiiiii; .. -.::i4t' 1 ': 1 ;1:;g0:. ; fe , A 7---.. ,Ce, ::.:!:! , :ii!iii!mo ....,..\ . 2! • : 19 , ..:. , ... i . , ..1 -e, •-. .... q .t.; 7 . oz-44, sweef WE COME BACK FROM A PICNIC AND WE MUST BE A SIGHT.'
