Columbia University Turmoil Recalls the Hitler Youth

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

Then there was “Kristallnacht” — the “Night of Broken Glass” — in which Nazi supporters attacked shops and stores owned by Jews, breaking their windows and trashing them. The Holocaust Encyclopedia notes that: Hitler Youth members across the country shattered the shop windows of an estimated 7,500 Jewish-owned commercial establishments and looted their wares.

"In the long ago and far away, as the anti-Semitism of Adolf Hitler’s Nazis slowly became front and center in 1920s Germany, what became known as the “Hitler Youth” came into existence.

"Over there at the Holocaust Encyclopedia is this background on the group: 

The Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend, or HJ) was the Nazi-organized youth movement. It was made up of different sections for boys and girls. The boys’ branch was simply called the Hitler Youth. The girls’ branch was called the League of German Girls (Bund Deutscher Mädel, BDM).

When the Nazis came to power in January 1933, the Hitler Youth movement had approximately 100,000 members. By the end of the same year, membership had increased to more than 2 million (30% of German youth ages 10-18). In the following years, the Nazi regime encouraged and pressured young people to join the Hitler Youth organizations. Enthusiasm, peer pressure, and coercion led to a significant increase in membership. By 1937, membership in the Hitler Youth grew to 5.4 million (65% of youth ages 10-18). By 1940 the number was 7.2 million (82%).

Nazifying German Youth The Role of Hitler Youth in the Nazi Regime

Beginning in 1933, the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls had an important role to play in the new Nazi regime. Through these organizations, the Nazi regime planned to indoctrinate young people with Nazi ideology. This was part of the process of Nazifying German society. The aim of this process was to dismantle existing social structures and traditions. The Nazi youth groups were about imposing conformity. Youth throughout Germany wore the same uniforms, sang the same Nazi songs, and participated in similar activities.
