German League of Girls in the Hitler Youth movement. By age 10, all German girls were required to join the BDM. The BDM was the female organization under the Hitler Youth. At age 17 the girls could join the Belief and Beauty movement within the BDM. The primary focus of both movements was special training to become good wives mothers and homemakers. They learned cooking, sewing, child care . They learned all about Germany's leader Adolf Hitler and Nazism. My mother grew up in Nazi Germany and her stories about the BDM were very interesting. The children were not involved in the atrocities that occurred.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
