About the Book:

“Through Innocent Eyes – The Chosen Girls of the Hitler Youth” tells of the true life-struggles of Gertrude Kerschner and her family set in Kleinzell, Austria prior to and after Austria is annexed into Germany. Gertrude’s life embarks on a remarkable journey of camaraderie under the Swastika. Gertrude’s mother, Josefa, becomes financially stable as all of her of five children are inducted into the Hitler Youth. As the war progresses, each embarks on their own path towards survival, freedom, loss, death, and ultimately reunite under the Western Allies. Based upon the author’s mother’s original journal and anchored in historical fact, “Through Innocent Eyes” celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the strength of a child at war.

Thank you for tuning in!

On the 5th of January, the "Glöckler" walk from one door to another in the Salzkammergut. This is proper pagan-action and spectacular to watch. They are young men dressed up in white trousers and dress with large crest-hat decorations that are lit up from the inside. The "Glöckler" have bells on their belts and joints and perform dances. This was traditionally done to wake the seed in the soil and nature′s spirits. I can′t think of a justification the Catholic Church might have found for continuing with it, but pagan or not, it looks great.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg1WlIHBQdQ

What began as a small commemorative gathering in 2012 grew into a full-fledged community event and reenactment called Remembering WWII, which first occurred on September 27, 2014 and is scheduled to occur again on September 22nd-23rd, 2017.

WWII history will come to life at this incredible, hands-on living history event. Attendees will experience two WWII re-enactments, an army encampment, live big band music, an authentic recreation of the French Cafe de Normandie, vintage vehicles, antiques vendors, and more. Most importantly, attendees will have a rare opportunity not only to hear WWII veterans share their stories, but will be able to speak with them, have a photo signed, and express their appreciation in person. It will be an unforgettable day of honoring our heroes, connecting personally with the past, and experiencing a taste of life in the 1940s.

D-Day Commemoration - June 3, 2017

FREE EVENT - Open to the Public - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm 

Hosted by Zephyrhills Museum of Military History

 

Location:   39444 South Ave, Zephyrhills 33542

 

The Zephyrhills Museum Of Military History will be holding it’s annual D-Day Commemoration on Saturday, June 3, 2017 from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM. 

This is to commemorate the D-Day landings by U.S. troops on the beaches of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944, which marked the beginning of the end to Hitler’s “Fortress Europe” during World War II. 

There will be reenactors on hand in uniforms of that period and with equipment and weapons carried by the troops to illustrate what the soldiers, on both sides, both Allied & Axis, would have looked like and what they would have used in the associated battles. 

We will also be parting with some books about military history that some of our members have graciously brought in for this event. Come browse through the books and for a nominal donation you can take some of these home with you if you’d like.

 

Cynthia A. Sandor will have her book "Through Innocent Eyes - The Chosen Girls of the Hitler Youth" available for $20 

Admission to the museum is FREE. Donations are gratefully accepted as we operate totally off of donations and are a 501c3 organization. 

Please feel free to join us. Bring the family and enjoy the day learning of our history.
