Hitlerjunge Quex (1933)

The year is 1931, and young Heini Volker has a problem. His unemployed father demands he join Berlin’s young communists. But his heart belongs to the Hitler Youth. How Heini resolves this quandry is the story of Hitlerjunge Quex, a movie that became central to the moral instruction of young Germans throughout the Nazi years.

In conjunction with the April 13 lecture in the German Department about this classic of Nazi film propaganda by Ian Fleischmann, there will be a screening of the Hans Steinhoff’s Hitlerjunge Quex (Germany, 1933, B&W, 87 Minutes, German dialogue with English subtitles) at 7pm on Monday, April 6th in East Pyne 010.

Free and open to the public
