EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lantern slide image captures the essence of the Hitler Youth movement in Germany during the 1930s. The Hitler Youth, or Deutsches Jungvolk, was the youth organization of the Nazi Party, established in 1922 and open to all boys between the ages of ten and eighteen. The boys in this photograph, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are shown gathered around a lantern projector, their young faces focused intently on the image being displayed. The use of a lantern slide projector was a popular method for instruction and entertainment during this era, and it is likely that the boys are engaged in a educational session. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a dark period in history, when the innocence of childhood was manipulated and co-opted by political ideologies. The boys in the photograph appear earnest and serious, their gazes fixed on the image before them, oblivious to the sinister undercurrents of the organization they were a part of. The image is taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, a vast and diverse collection of historical photographs, now available through Mary Evans Prints Online. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the social and political climate of Germany during the interwar period and the early years of World War II.
