Requiem for a German Past

Jurgen Herbst is emeritus professor of history and education policy studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of several books including And Sadly Teach, published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

"Herbst illustrates how easy it was for a German boy without strong conviction or religious hatred to climb into a position of leadership in the Nazi Jungvolk...indeed, how difficult it would have been for him not to end up in such a place.... A unique perspective on everyday life in extreme circumstances." - Wayne Hoffman, Washington Post
