Biography Before WW II, Heinrich Himmler realized that when war came, casualties would be high and the best would be killed off. To replace the cream of his SS and other German forces, he came up with the plan to kidnap children who would show the best of the Germanic appearances of blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin and have then raised by committed Nazis couples. These children would be Germany's future Nordic strong men and women. Author Ingrid was one of those children stolen as a baby from her Yugoslavian parents. As she grew up in Nazi and post war Germany, she had questions her foster parents always promised to but never did tell her where she came from. Who were her parents? As an adult she started to search meeting many road blocks including post war Germany's desire to not face the Nazi past. Eventually several people did help her find her roots which did not always prove a positive moment. This volume is also a history lesson about some of the secret activities of some of Hitler's strongest henchmen and damaged they did to children and their parents in the effort to create a super race. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Hitler's Stolen Children is a powerful, first-person account of being at the heart of one of the Nazi's cruelest and most obscene experiments--the Lebensborn program to create a new Aryan master race. In 1942, when she was nine months old, Erika Matko was stolen from her family in St. Sauerbrunn in what was then Yugoslavia and transported to Germany to be "Germanized." She was chosen because, unlike her older brother and sister, she was blond and blue eyed, and had passed a medical racial examination that classed her as Aryan. Lebensborn then farmed her out to politically vetted German foster parents. Renamed Ingrid von Oelhafen, she grew up believing she was German. Then, one day, friends of her foster family revealed the truth about her origins. This was the beginning of a life-long quest to discover the truth about her birth and the Lebensborn program. It was a journey that would take her across Germany, uncovering the terrible secrets of Lebensborn--including the kidnapping of up to half a million babies like her and the deliberate murder of those deemed "sub-standard"--and back to the village where she was born. But here she would be faced with something even more painful: a woman who for more than seventy years had been using her name--and living her life. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
