Youth home run by American sergeant brings democracy to Berlin youths
In postwar Berlin a U.S. Army sergeant and four GIs opened a youth center to teach democracy through games, reading, and sports. About 700 youngsters flocked to the building, which supports a library of 1,000 books and communal activities. Some youths test the message, seeking entertainment first, yet organizers press on, expanding the project with gifts and plans for more houses.
