    She survived Hitler and wants to warnmerica

    osted byRob Kerby, Senior Editor

    Kitty Werthmann survived Hitler.

    What I am about to tell you is something youve probably never

    heard or read in history books, she likes to tell audiences.

    I am a witness to history.

    I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it

    would distort history.

    We voted him in.

    H om e N ew s On the Front Lines of the Culture Wars She survived Hitler and wants to warn America

    Kitty Werthmann

    Adolph Hitler

    If you remember the plot of the Sound of

    Mus ic, the Von Trapp family escaped

    over the Alps rather than submit to the

    Nazis. Kitty wasnt so lucky. Her familychose to stay in her native Austria. She

    was 10 years old, but bright and aware.

    And she was watching.

    We elected him by a landslide 98 percent of the vote, she recalls.

    he wasnt old enough to vote in 1938 approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers.

    Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.

    No so.

    In 1938,

    Austria was in

    deep

    Depression.

    Nearly one-

    third of our

    workforce was

    unemployed.

    2/9

    We had 25

    percent

    inflation and 25

    percent bank

    loan interest

    rates.

    Farmers and

    business people

    were declaring

    bankruptcy

    daily. Youngeople were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didnt want to work; there

    imply werent any jobs.

    My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big

    ettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people about 30 daily.

    We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. she

    ecalls. We had been told that they didnt have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard

    f living.

    Nothing was ever said about persecution of any

    roup Jewish or otherwise. We were led to

    elieve that everyone in Germany was happy. Wewanted the same way of life in Austria. We were

    romised that a vote for Hitler would mean the

    nd of unemployment and help for the family.

    Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted,

    nd farmers would get their farms back.

    Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to

    nnex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our

    uler.

    We were overjoyed, remembers Kitty, and for

    hree days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big

    ield kitchens and everyone was fed.

    After the election, German

    officials were appointed, and like a

    miracle, we suddenly had law and

    order. Three or four weeks later,

    everyone was employed. The

    government made sure that a lot

    of work was created through the

    Public Work Service.

    Hitler decided we should have

    equal rights for women. Before

    this, it was a custom that married

    Austrian women did not work

    outside the home. An able-bodied

    husband would be looked down on

    f he couldnt support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could

    etain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.

    Then we lost religious education for kids

    Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public

    chool.. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had

    eligion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13,938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix

    eplaced by Hitlers picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our

    eacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we

    wouldnt pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang

    Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles, and had physical

    ducation.

    3/9

    Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory

    ttendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change

    n curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they

    would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second

    ime they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third

    ime they would be subject to jail.

    And then things got worse.

    The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time

    went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free.

    We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

    My mother was very unhappy, remembers Kitty. When the next term started, she took me out of

    ublic school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldnt do that and she told me that someday

    when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun no

    ports, and no political indoctrination.

    I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would

    o back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing.

    Their loose

    lifestyle was very

    alarming to me.

    They livedwithout religion.

    By that time,

    unwed mothers

    were glorified for

    having a baby for

    Hitler.

    It seemed

    strange to me that

    our society

    changed so

    suddenly. As timewent along, I

    realized what a

    reat deed my mother did so that I wasnt exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.

    Then food rationing began

    In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be

    urchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you

    didnt work, you didnt get a ration card, and if you didnt have a card, you starved to death.

    Women who stayed home to raise their families didnt have any marketable skills and often had to

    ake jobs more suited for men.

    Soon after this, the draft was implemented.

    It was compulsory for young people, male

    nd female, to give one year to the labor

    orps, remembers Kitty. During the day,

    he girls worked on the farms, and at night

    hey returned to their barracks for military

    raining just like the boys.

    They were trained to be anti-aircraft

    unners and participated in the signal corps.

    After the labor corps, they were not

    discharged but were used in the front lines.

    When I go back to Austria to visit my family

    nd friends, most of these women are

    motional cripples because they just were not

    quipped to handle the horrors of combat.

    Three months before I turned 18, I was

    everely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly

    had a leg amputated, so I was spared having

    o go into the labor corps and into military

    ervice.

    When the mothers had to go out into the

    work force, the government immediately

    stablished child care centers.

    You could take your children ages four weeks old to school age and leave them there around-the-

    lock, seven days a week, under the total care of the government.

    The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of thehildren, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights.

    We knew we had been had.

    Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of

    Vienna..

    After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government.

    The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything.

    When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same

    ime, the hospitals were full.

    If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a

    year or two for your turn. There was no money for

    research as it was poured into socialized medicine.

    Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so

    the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other

    countries.

    As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80

    percent of our income. Newlyweds immediately

    received a $1,000 loan from the government to

    stablish a household. We had big programs for families.

    All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college

    uition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and

    housing.

    We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had

    quare tables.

    Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump

    hemselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a

    mall dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn t meet all the demands.

    Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones

    xisted, it could be in control.

    We had consumer protection, too

    We were told how to

    hop and what to buy.

    Free enterprise was

    ssentially abolished.

    We had a planning

    gency specially

    designed for farmers.

    The agents would go to

    he farms, count the

    ive-stock, and then tell

    he farmers what to

    roduce, and how to

    roduce it.

    In 1944, I was a student

    eacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the

    winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated.

    So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were

    5 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work.

    I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the

    window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van.

    I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health

    Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers

    with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months.

    They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

    As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The

    illagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical

    health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.

    Then they took our guns

    Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch

    riminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding

    nd dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police

    aid that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so

    t was futile not to comply voluntarily.

    No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against

    the government was taken away. We knew many people who were

    arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke

    up.

    Totalitarianism didnt come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938

    until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened

    overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath.

    Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were

    broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that

    the state, little by little eroded our freedom.

    This is my eye-witness account.

    Its true. Those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedomnd opportunity.

    America is truly is the greatest country in the world.

    Dont let freedom slip away.

    After America, there is no place to go.

    I watched the horrors of Nazi Germany overrun our country in Holland where my father was an

    underground leader. As a boy I was the lookout, and under dark cover I led Jewish families from

    our basement, through the woods into Belgium. As for America? The handwriting is already on

    the wall. People take freedom for granted because they know not what it is to loose freedom. In

    this fun-oriented society God has been replaced by pleasure-seeking atheism. Humility has been

    replaced by body-builders serving the ego. Most are unaware that everything here in this short

    life must rot and that you take nothing with you into your eternal life except the good you do by

    following the will of Christ.

    unfortunatly not many pepole pay attention to history because what happende in austria is

    happening in our country slower but basicly the same thing the goverment is takeing more

    control of our lives littel by little and most people arent paying attion because they thing they

    are getting someting for nothing but what is happening is that the goverment has more control

    over our lives then we think so i pray to god that this story awakens more people to what ishappening so we can stop the slow erosion of our freedoms

    In response to Miguel- You are so right. People do not realize it but we are headed for martial law

    and new world order. The government is taking over our lives little by little and it is because

    people think that they are getting something for nothing. If they would realize it, one false move

    an their benefits will be relinquished in a split second. God is allowing this because people have

    turned a deaf ear to the truth and refuse to obey Gods word. They are letting the works of theflesh take over. They want what feels good instead of what is right. God made us and he knows

    that all of this other stuff will kill us. It is not my will that any should perish. He wants us well,

    whole, and to have nice things, but if we want to do it our way, he is going to let us get in trouble.

    Then what is the first thing we say- Oh Lord. Not O devil or oh flesh or the thing that got us into

    those situations. I am not perfect. This is why I repent daily and ask the Lord for his guidance so

    that when I do mess up-I recognize it-repent- and do not do it again. I am trying hard not to miss

    the rapture. From what I have read in Revelations, its not going to be a pretty picture during

    these last and evil days.

    My Nam eposted April 18, 2011 at 1:03 pm

    so the Christian i.e. Catholic way is the only way? Hmmmm I sense a little arrogance here, as

    is usual with Catholics or Christians, or whatever they want to call themselves. Some will say, in

    defensive reaction, But I didnt say that! But thats not what I meant!

    Patricia Excuse me what light? The only light you have to see is your own. If you cannot see

    that, you cant see any other.

    Gus Verdult fun-oriented society and pleasure-seeking atheism? My my, what a prejudiced

    and judgemental conclusion. Typisch Nederlands cynisisme, zou ik zeggen. And what

    presumptiousness to think that everyone thinks and lives this way. The good you do by

    following the Will of Christ? So those who dont do that are in hell, according to you, right?

    Sounds quite exclusive, dont you think?

    Well, folks, thanks to all of you for excluding me. I dont mind, and, actually, I prefer it that way.

    Ciao!
