Special exhibition "You belong to the Führer too"! - Children and young people in the region 1918 - 1945

To what extent did the everyday lives of children and young people change in comparison to the Weimar Republic? What points of reference did the National Socialists have from the Weimar period? What content was added to school lessons or disappeared? Was the Hitler Youth an exciting pastime or a chore? What happened to children and young people when military drill became bitterly serious during the war? These and other questions are at the centre of the new special exhibition entitled: "You belong to the Führer too! - Children and young people in the region 1918-1945.

Find out about the school-leaving exams that Euskirchen school-leavers had to answer in the mid-1930s, about schoolchildren in Monschau who had to collect bones during the Second World War and about children who had to dig anti-tank trenches in Hollerath and other places during the final phase of the Second World War.
