"Don't be afraid, I don't want to make excuses. The evil fate which prefigures the course of events does not exclude personal guilt. I hope, I dare to hope, that the erroneous and even wicked deeds of which I am obliged to speak, will gradually find not forgiveness but understanding..." - is written in one letter. The quoted fragment is taken from the book "Fazit. Mein Weg in der Hitler-Jugend" ("Bottom line. My path in the Hitler-Jugend"). The author of the book is Melita Maschmann, who during the Nazi years was a reporter in the press and propaganda department of the Association of German Girls. The book is written in the form of a letter to a former school friend, a Jewish girl who was on the other side of the barbed wire. The memoir details the path of a socially conscious, well-educated middle-class girl who joins the Hitler Youth, leads the eviction of Polish farmers from their land, and works in the upper echelons of the Nazi press and propaganda. The book went through eight editions in Germany and was studied in schools. Historians of Nazism used it as a primary source. Melita Maschmann died in Germany in 2010. She was never married and had no children.
