Thisarticle,dealingwithamostdifficultproblemofpsychological healing,isbyDr.OttoStrasser,whofledfromHitlerGermanyandcarriedonalongfightagainsttheNaziregimeinDuropebeforeseekingrefugeinAmerica.Hisbrother,Gregor,wasavictimofthe"Purge° ofJune,1934.

Forexample,anAmericanfriend whohadjustreadGregorZiemer's "EducationforDeath,"wrotemerecently:"Eachyearproducesanew cropofyoungstersequallydetermined todieifnecessarythatNazismmay live.Tometheprospectisghastly; Iamnotafraidoflosingthiswar.But theGermanauthoritieshavesothoroughlyindoctrinatedGermanyouth thatIdonotseehowwecanever curethemoftheeducationtheyhave received.Assumingthatwewinthe warto-morrow-therewillstillbea generationofGermansdeterminedto avengethedefeatassoonastheyare strongenough.Inshort:'headds, "thoughthisisaconclusionfromwhich Ishrink,Ifranklydonotseehowwe caneversecurepeaceinEuropewithoutslaughteringtheentireyounger generationofGermans.Thisisarevoltingthought,andyetlogicallyI canseenoothersolution."

ThreeCategoriesofYouth.

Iamnotsopessimisticasmy friend.Why?Firstofall,letus makeacleardistinctionintheagerate. goriesofGermanyouth.

(I)Thosemostcontaminatedby Nazidoctrineareyoungsterswhowere 8--I5whenHitlercametopower. A greatnumberofthisgroupwasthen enrolledinsomepartyorganisation suchastheHitleryouthortheS.A., andtheylookeduponHitler'sChancellorshipassomethingmorethana victory-itwastheconfirmationof theirhopesandideas.Theseyoungstersareto-day17--24,andundoubtedlytheypresentsomeverygraveproblems,towhichweshallreturn.

InfluencesonYouth.

Thereisageneralobservation.I feelthatthepointraisedbymyfriend intheUnitedStatesisbasedonan over-estimationofthepermanencyof schooleducationresults.Theschool isbutoneofthemajorcontributing factorsinachild'seducation-Besides it,therearethehome,theChurch, whatIshouldtermnaturalinstincts, andfinally,inGermanytheArmy. Thesefourinfluenceshaveplayedan importantpartintheeducationof Germanyouth,notsomuchfromthe pointofviewofaccumulatingknowledge-whichisthespecialfunctionof theschool-butinmouldingcharacter.

Admittedly,however,theseoverfacts havebeenovershadowedbyformal Nazieducationinitsmanyforms;such isoneofthepredominantcharacteristicsoftheregime,andoneoftheunderlyingreasonsforitssuccess.

Mygeneralobservationcannotdeny thattheyouthofGermanyhasbeen, and,subjecttotheabovequalifications, stillisinclinedtoacceptNationalSocialism.

Why?Not,obviously,becausehe reallydesiressuchthings-forhissole aimistheconstantincreaseofhisown power.Butheknowsthathewould losetheidealismofGermanyouth,if hedidnotspeaktothemintheirown languageandpointtotheirgoal.

HitlerhasmisledGermanyouth;he hasabusedandpervertedtheiridealism,andby(liemostskilfulpropagandaeverknown,hehasheldthem inignoranceofit.

Bearingallthisinmind,asolution oftheproblemofGermanyouthdoes notseemsoimpossible "LostBattalion."

Inthefirstplace,apars-andnota smallpart-oftherisinggeneration willdieonHitler'schosenbattlefields. Thusthe"onlylogicalsolution,"to whichmyAmericanfriendpointed, willbebroughtaboutinthecourseof events.Itisnonethelessghastly thatway,buttheresponsibilityisHitler's-oneforwhichhewillhaveto answerbeforetheJudgmentBar.

Others-inmyopinionagroupsmallerthanthefirstandthethird-can never,oronlythroughalongdisciplinaryprogress,bebroughtbackto normalcivilisedlife,

Finally,amajorityoftheGerman youthwillfindtheirwaybacktonormallife,whenthosewhohavemisled themhavebeenremoved,andonce againtheyarepermitted-andhelped -toseethingsaright.Toachieve thistherewillhavetobeanextensive re-education.

Intheinevitableperiodofdisillusionmentwhichaccompaniesandfollowsdefeat.Germanyouthmustbe providedwiththetruthwhichhaslong beenwithheldfromthem.Theline betweenfanaticallove,suchasthey haveheldforHitler,andbitterhatred, isverythinlydrawn,andifthisperiodofre-educationisskilfullyplanned, and,ofcourse,conductedbyfellowGermans,theywillturnfromthose whomtheyhaveblindlyfollowed,

Non-Conformist,BrunswickJunction:

Q.:"DoyouthinkthatitreallymatterswhetheronebeCatholic,Protestant,orNon-Conformist?"

A.:Yes,Ireallydothinkitmattersquitealot.Asamatteroffact, 1thinkitmeanseverythinginlife.

Q.:"Afterall,theseareonlydifferentwaysofpayinghomagetothe oneSupremeGod.Icannotbelieve myselfthatGodwouldthinkthat anyparticularmethodofworship wouldbecorrect,andallothersincorrectandnottobetolerated."

A.:Asyousay,thevariouscreeds areonlydifferentwaysofpayinghomagetotheoneSupremeGod.However,ofthemall,ONEwayisthe BESTway;morethanthat,oneway s3,tuallythewayinwhichGodHimselflaiddownthatHewishedtobe worshipped.Consequently.noother wayofpayinghomagetoGodcanbe aspleasingtoHimasthiswaywhich HeHimselfdetermined.Wecaneven gofurtherandsay,thatnootherway ofworshippingGodistrue,andany wayofworshippingGodwhichisnot thetruewayexplicitlylaiddownby ChristHimselfiswrong,atleastin part.

Now,whatIhavetriedtoconvey, inseasonandoutofseason,isthat ChristfoundedareligionandaChurch andsinceChristwasGod,itmeant,, inotherwords,thatGodHimselfwas layingdawnforusthewayinwhich Hewishedtobeworshipped.He gavedetailedinstructionsastowhat membersofthatreligionorChurch shouldbelievetobethetruth,He madecertainconditionsofmembershipofthisChurchthroughwhichHe wishedtobeworshipped,and,finally, ChristHimself-andafterHimthe ApostlesandtheearlyFathersofthe Church-wereverydefiniteastothe formbothourpublicandourprivate worshipofGodshouldtake.
