Hiking clubs were formed and work camps . . . rural folk schools and communes sprang up . . . In the 1930s, Nazism swallowed this so-called Youth Movement virtually whole . . . (this) is the engaging story of a remnant that survived: the Bruderhof, a 75-year-old community that began when the author and her husband, Eberhard ventured into a new life." 5196
