[Rhodes22-list] Politics - Hitler Youth

[Andrew Collins]

I did not, but my sister did. My schooling was at the Steinerschule in
Schwabing and then a year at the Munich International School in anticipation
of moving to the States. We got here in 1970 when I was 14. The UM extension
question is no biggie, it was a wild and crazy time and the student body was
a real mix. For a 12-13 year-old with an 18 year old sister it was real
interesting, but less so for my parents. They really did not know how to
balance the nice staid  German culture (school, friends, relaitves) we were
all living in with the free-ranging style of the UM extension.  But this is
ancient history. So, how do you know about the UM in Munich?
