Jugend voraus! is a children's book by Else Ury.

Ury did not experience January 30, 1933, the day of Hitler's seizure of power, as an existential threat. Like most Germans, she welcomed the "national uprising" and hoped that the misery of the post-war years would end and a new era would begin. In this spirit, she wrote Jugend voraus, a story for boys and girls. Once again, a completely normal family takes center stage in the story, and for the first time, Else Ury addresses the issue of unemployment.
