Since its creation in 1926 the membership of the organization had grown from roughly 5,000 to nearly 8,000,000 due to the Nazi Party forcing nearly all children to be a part of it.

The title of my piece sums up my entire article: Are You Serious? I mean honestly? Are you kidding? Don’t worry, reader, this isn’t to you. Unless you’re David Irving, of course. What’s that? You don’t know what I’m talking about? You don’t know that some people in this world actually believe the Holocaust never took place? Then welcome to the modern day, the 21st century, an age where even the most widely recognized event in human history can be, and ferociously is, questioned.…
The Hitler Youth (for boys) was also set up. The Hitler Youth’s main purpose was to control leisure time of the children and train them to be Nazis.

"During the trial period, each boy and girl had to pass a written examination to make sure they had mastered Nazi ideas about race and politics. They also had to prove their racial background... Only healthy boys and girls of proven "Aryan" descent were permitted to join" (Bartoletti 25).

Once Hitler became dictator, his first step was to build up Germany's army, an action strictly forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. He also began his intense discrimination toward Jews in Germany. Because he believed that the most important group to influence was the children, a group called Hitler Youth had been established. These boys and girls were basically the Nazi equivalent of Boy Scouts. They did good works around their neighborhoods and they had ranks and levels, but they were also immersed in Nazi propaganda that caused them to believe in Aryan Superiority.…
The Hitler youth movement started not long after Hitler came into power. The Nazis wanted great control over the youth and did whatever it took to get that control. The younger generation was used, manipulated, and brainwashed to join the service for the “good” of the Third Reich. For that purpose they created groups for boys and girls in all different ages. The Youth Movement was originally created to make the youth future warriors and to carry out Hitler’s master plan. The Nazis used many different ways to influence the youth, mostly by the press, speech, education, radio, leisure’s, and school time.…

The leaders of this organization realized they had to offer some attraction in the area of social dancing in order to recruit new members. Instead of adopting the popular swing dance (because it was viewed as degenerate and tied to the "damnable jazz'), they resorted to the new-German community dances.…
