About this product

Product Information

Growing up in the beautiful mountains of Berchtesgaden -- just steps from Adolf Hitler's alpine retreat -- Irmgard Hunt had a seemingly happy, simple childhood. In her powerful, illuminating, and sometimes frightening memoir, Hunt recounts a youth lived under an evil but persuasive leader. As she grew older, the harsh reality of war -- and a few brave adults who opposed the Nazi regime -- aroused in her skepticism of National Socialist ideology and the Nazi propaganda she was taught to believe in.In May 1945, an eleven-year-old Hunt watched American troops occupy Hitler's mountain retreat, signaling the end of the Nazi dictatorship and World War II. As the Nazi crimes began to be accounted for, many Germans tried to deny the truth of what had occurred; Hunt, in contrast, was determined to know and face the facts of her country's criminal past.On Hitler's Mountain is more than a memoir -- it is a portrait of a nation that lost its moral compass. It is a provocative story of a family and a community in a period and location in history that, though it is fast becoming remote to us, has important resonance for our own time.

Involving memoir
An insightful and revealing look at everyday life for German citizens. A forgotten facet of the repercussions of war. A humanizing portrait of a people that were forced into the nucleus of the Nazi elite. My mother grew up in wartime Germany, and the parallels are striking. Recommended.

Interesting and useful viewpoint
I was interested in applying the "hind-sight" of someone who lived this closely to tragedy. I see a whole lot that applies to our society today as we ignore our government conspiracies and usurpations.

The story of "ordinary" Germans caught up in the nazi horror
With a lifelong interest in Nazi and German history, it is very interesting to read the stories of people who lived through these times. In this case, it was children who were the innocent victims of their parents' generation. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get a different perspective than a "history" book.

Very worthwhile read and most unusual insight into WWII
This is a very well-written account of the war period by a non-established writer (therefore it has its faults, yet excellent editing and obviously competent writing pull it through any difficult patches), providing a most unusual point of view of the Hitler years. I can't describe it without giving too much away, but it does present a great deal of first-hand information which could only really come to us through the eyes of a child. This means that the book has been written by an individual who was born at just the right moment to experience the drama of the war years vividly, yet who was, for a number of reasons, protected and able to live through them, even though being almost as close to the action, as it were, as it was possible for such a person to be. Altogether a remarkable tale, ...

Altogether a remarkable tale, recounted very humanely, which will not disappoint from any angle (even if the young miss in question does gripe rather a lot!).
