Book Review "Through Innocent Eyes - The Chosen Girls of the Hitler Youth"

Here is another comment I received from "D" ......

Your book sounds fantastic! There are too few books that have been written portraying the Germans in anything other than a horrible light. I suppose one of the spoils of war is that you get to write the history after you have won the war. I have and always will consider myself a German. I find it heart warming that someone such as yourself is willing to tell a story like this! The general masses have been brainwashed into a belief that the NSDAP taught nothing but hate which is not the case as you so well have written in your book. I will continue to believe in the strong German work ethics, their love of their land, and their loyalty to their country, which is proven until this day. I will believe this up and until my death. I have found myself rambling, but my point is this: I thank you WITH ALL MY HEART for writing your mother's biography and having the guts to go against the accepted view. I have read the preview in Google books. I have purchased my book and I look forward to reading it! Thank you again for your valuable contribution to German/Austrian history. "D"

This is probably the nicest comment I received so far!

My dear Cindy. You are truly a professional. Everything is done to perfection. I am a slow reader, but what I have read so far is just so good. It brings back many memories to me of my sisters who were at the BDM and I a young girl to admire them. I was ten when the war ended and much to my disappointment, the war was over when  I had just joined the Hitler Jugend. --- You will do well with this book I am sure. ---- More later with much love, "L"

BOOK REVIEWS

MF from Illinois said "I am very appreciative of your work to dispel this myth. It is very intriguing that you took all of this historical information from your mother, and by the way, my condolences, and put it all in to a literature piece of art. I read the sample of your book on Barnes and Noble, on the internet. I am already drawn in. Haha. I will have to purchase this book and read it in its entirety in the near future. Things are a little tight with the economy right now. But i would like to purchase an actual copy of this book. I would rather spend the extra to get a copy with your signature. This had to be quite of a lot of dedication and work to contribute to to complete. It is a much appreciated work, as far as a am concerned."

Zither Music

My mother used to play the Zither.  I guess that is why I naturally gravitated to the concert piano and guitar when I was younger.  When the movie for "Through Innocent Eyes" is released, I very much would like Lotte Landl to play the background music.  Here is her web link.  She even played the Sydney Oprah House!  You go girl!

Here is her web site:  http://www.lottelandl.com/

And, here is where you can see her play:   http://www.youtube.com/user/lotte1935/videos?view=0

Thank you for watching!

Comments from 2/15/2013 Radio Interview

John said: "I heard you on Deanna's program and just wanted to say great work! Thanks for everything you are doing!"

Mathew said: "Hi, I heard your radio interview on Deanna's show and I bought your book on Amazon today look forward to reading it. All the best!" 

Nancy said "Cynthia- loved the book so much I didn't want it to end!! Of course I have lots if questions but one in particular was, why was Josefa taken and beaten when Trudy was 10? Was it because they didn't have a photo of hitler in the house? And who told on them, the youth leader or Josefa 's friend? Anyway I loved it so much and hope you will come to Ft Worth or close by so I can get my book signed. This was excellent as far as history goes too! Even though these kids couldn't really be kids and things were harsh for them at times, they still managed to enjoy life!"  

Stephen said "Great radio interview! I will post this on my wall for others to listen to!" 

Trevor said "Head your interview!  Thank you for writing your book!" 

William said " I listened to you both times with Deanna. We are becoming more and finally telling the true story."

KW said " Great interview! That is so cool that you wrote a book about your mother's life.  I want to get this for our collection and I think that is great that you do this!"
