Watchwoman:<\/strong><\/span> My husband read me this outstanding and remarkable article yesterday in a piece of mail he received from Resource Consultants Newsletter. \u00a0Then I\u00a0coincidentally\u00a0found it on Rob Kerby’s blog right here at Beliefnet (only there are no coincidences in God’s Kingdom. \u00a0God controls all things.) \u00a0Rob Kerby is the Sr. Editor and the good Christian man who\u00a0recruited\u00a0me to blog here. \u00a0I was going to track down Kitty Werthmann and seek her permission to post her story on my blog, but since Rob had it already posted, I\u00a0asked his permission to reprint it here on my own Watchwoman on the Wall blog. \u00a0It is a great article and one that every American should read<\/strong><\/span>. \u00a0Please do not miss reading this article and please pass it onto everyone you know<\/span>. This\u00a0deserves\u00a0wide distribution! \u00a0Feel free to forward it far and wide and often! \u00a0<\/strong>After reading the comments from so many people since blogging here, I am even more\u00a0acutely\u00a0aware of just how dangerously deceived are the American people. \u00a0Since in my everyday life experiences the vast majority of people I come in contact with are born-again Christians having the mind the Christ and a concrete, solid understanding of the U.S. Constitution, I have had my eyes opened to the ignorance of so many other Americans who do not have the benefit of sitting under wise pastors who teach directly and only from the Holy Christian Bible. \u00a0I must admit, I had a misconception of just how blind far too many Americans remain in darkened deception blinded by the lies of Satan. \u00a0I pray for America to have her eyes opened, her ears unblocked, and may the Holy\u00a0Scriptures\u00a0be opened to be received into their hearts. \u00a0May the Holy Spirit of God descend upon America and wake her up for she is\u00a0dangerously\u00a0asleep while being taken over by the dark forces of evil. \u00a0America desperately needs to wake up!<\/strong>\u00a0 May Kitty Werthmann’s article alert the deceived. \u00a0May they hear the truth! \u00a0May they accept the truth. \u00a0In Jesus’ Name, I pray. \u00a0I ask God, the Father, in the Name of Jesus, to quicken you, so that as you read this article, God may enlighten you as to the\u00a0parallels\u00a0that have already taken place in the U.S.A. and those that are currently being proposed in legislation. God save America. \u00a0God save the reader of this article. \u00a0In Jesus Name, I ardently pray. \u00a0Amen. \u00a0(Thanks, Rob, for your permission to re-post.

Kitty Werthmann survived Hitler.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat I am about to tell you is something you\u2019ve probably never heard or read in history books,\u201d she likes to tell audiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a witness to history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Adolph Hitler \u25ac><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe voted him in.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you remember the plot of the\u00a0Sound of Music,<\/em>\u00a0the Von Trapp family escaped over the Alps rather than submit to the Nazis. Kitty wasn\u2019t so lucky. Her family chose to stay in her native Austria. She was 10 years old, but bright and aware. And she was watching.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe elected him by a landslide \u2013 98 percent of the vote,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t old enough to vote in 1938 \u2013 approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.\u201d<\/p>\n

No so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\u25ac\u00a0<\/strong>Hitler is welcomed to Austria<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cIn 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25 percent inflation and 25 percent bank loan interest rates.<\/p>\n

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn\u2019t want to work; there simply weren\u2019t any jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people \u2013 about 30 daily.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933.\u201d she recalls. \u201cWe had been told that they didn\u2019t have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Austrian girls welcome Hitler \u25ac><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cNothing was ever said about persecution of any group \u2013 Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone in Germany was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back.<\/p>\n

\u201cNinety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were overjoyed,\u201d remembers Kitty, \u201cand for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\u25ac \u00a0<\/strong>Austrians saluting<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cAfter 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cHitler 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 if he couldn\u2019t support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we lost religious education for kids<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Poster promoting “Hitler Youth” \u25ac><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cOur education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school.. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler\u2019s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn\u2019t pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang \u2018Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles,\u2019 and had physical education.<\/p>\n

\u201cSunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then things got worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother was very unhappy,\u201d remembers Kitty. \u201cWhen the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn\u2019t 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 \u2013 no sports, and no political indoctrination.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\u25ac \u00a0<\/strong>A pro-Hitler rally<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cTheir loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time, unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn\u2019t exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen food rationing began<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn\u2019t work, you didn\u2019t get a ration card, and if you didn\u2019t have a card, you starved to death.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen who stayed home to raise their families didn\u2019t have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon after this, the draft was implemented.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Young Austrians \u25ac><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cIt was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps,\u201d remembers Kitty. \u201cDuring the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could take your children ages four weeks old to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, seven days a week, under the total care of the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna..<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cIf 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80 percent of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables.<\/p>\n

\u201c Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn\u2019t meet all the demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had consumer protection, too<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Austrian kids loyal to Hitler \u25ac><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cWe were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, and then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1944, I was a student teacher 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen they took our guns<\/p>\n

\u201cNext came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\u25ac Kitty Werthmann<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cNo 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cTotalitarianism didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is\u00a0my eye-witness account.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true. Those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica is truly is the greatest country in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t let freedom slip away.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter America, there is no place to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country. Wake up and help stop it!","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/author\/dcalvin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7433"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7450,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7433\/revisions\/7450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
