Margit Meissner papers
Document
The Margit Meissner papers contain documents and photographs collected by Margit Meissner when she served as a German Youth Activities (GYA) director with the US Army of Occupation in 1947-1948. Included in the collection are documents outlining the duties and goals of the GYA, as well as correspondence to Meissner outlining her responsibilities, and a letter of recommendation. Also included is a book request, with comments on how one particular book would not serve as useful propaganda for democracy. The photographs capture some moments from the GYA’s book drive and shoe donation, and also of landscapes depicting postwar destruction. The publications are clippings of the Nuremberg Post newspaper and the Young World newsletter, discussing the GYA, and various clippings of Victory magazine.
Book drive poster for postwar US Army Assistance Program activities for German youth
Object
Broadside acquired by Margit Morawetz Gyorgy announcing a book collection drive for a youth program in Germany after World War II. It was held under the auspices of the U.S. Army Assistance Program to German Youth Activities. Established in 1946, the Program oversaw the re-education of former Hitler Youth. Margit worked as a youth activities specialist for the program. Margit's mother, Lilly, had sent her to study in Paris in 1938 because the expansion of German rule posed a threat to their life in Prague. Lilly joined Margit there a year later, but because she was an Austrian citizen, was imprisoned as an enemy alien after France declared war on Germany following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. Lilly was released when Germany occupied France in May 1940. She and Margit escaped to Portugal and, in 1941, were able to immigrate to the US. After America's entry into World War II, Margit worked for the Office of War Information, making use of her knowledge of languages. After the war, Margit worked for this program, re-educating former Hitler Youth in Furth, Germany.
