ARMIN LEHMANN FOR PEACE



Armin Lehmann was chosen by fate to become an eyewitness to history. In the closing weeks of World War II, Armin served his country as a 16 year old courier inside Hitler's Berlin bunker. Miraculously, he survived the bloody breakout after Hitler's suicide.

It is truly amazing that a youngster who loved animals and poetry would find himself in such a maelstrom.

Even more phenomenal is the pledge Armin made less than a year later. He committed to dedicating the rest of his life to advocating peace, empathy, and tolerance --bringing his message of love to people living in more than 150 countries for more than 63 years.

So that future generations could learn from the past, Armin wrote an autobiography: Hitler's Last Courier. An abbreviated version is published as Inside the Bunker).

Armin's vast research library now resides at the University of Southern Mississippi.
