Hansi: The Girl who Loved the Swastika

by Al Hartley (Illustrator / Author)

Hansi is a naïve young peasant girl in Sudetenland, who is mezmerized by the Führer and reading books. She wins a contest, organized by Adolf Hitler, that picks students for special training in National socialist schools in Prague. Her mother is delighted, but warns her in advance to "never forget Jesus Christ". As Hansi arrives in Prague, she is educated into antisemitism, but has doubts since Jesus himself was a Jew. Still, despite people informing her about the famine and horrors of the war she remains enthusiastic about Hitler.
