Irmgard Hunt

I'm sad to belatedly learn of Irmgard's passing. She was a wonderful environmental activist in New York and Washington and an enthusiastic promoter of solar and renewable energy. Of course, her book added a shocking and powerful insight into her "second life" and accomplishments in America. It was wonderful to have known her.

I just finished On Hitler´s Mountain. I too wish I had met Ms. Hunt. Her story is amazing and her activism is inspiring. As she wrote we all must "watch out for threats against the democracy " within which we live. These words are just as important in 2023 as the were in 2005 when her book was copyrighted. May she be remembered and the lessons she taught continue to be learned.

Loved Irmgard A. Hunt´s book "On Hitler´s Mountain." Wish I had met her... just realized we lived 8 miles apart as I live one town over from Boulder, Colorado. Ms. Hunt´s book was beautifully written and inspired by tragic events in Germany during Hitler´s reign. So insightful and it´s one of the finest books I´ve ever read on this subject. What she and her family lived through! What a tribute to all who survived.

I've just read "On Hitler's Mountain ", and was fascinated and moved by it. What horrors were devised in that beautiful part of Germany. I would have liked to have met Irmgard but at least we have her wonderful book. Robin Barrett, UK, 23rd Aug, 2023.

Her book is one of my favorites of personal accounts growing up in Nazi Germany. What a lady. I wish I'd known her. Godspeed always.

I got to know Irmgard when she was at the German Marshall Fund and I was working on environmental issues in the former Soviet bloc. She was wonderful to work with and we became friends; unfortunately, that connection was broken when she moved from Washington, DC. I am writing because of the profound impact her book (as well as her friendship) had on me. It was brilliant to write her experiences from the perspective of the child she was when had these experiences. Later, I either...

My deepest sympathy to the family. On the day Irmgard died, it had just received her book through the mail. Her recollections were astounding for someone so young during these difficult times. It is too sad, she contracted Alzheimer´s in her later years.
