Nazi 'master race' children meet

[acmejack]

A group of children selected by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime with the aim of creating an Aryan master race has met openly for the first time as adults.

Children from the Nazis' "Lebensborn" or "Font of Life" project gathered in the German town of Wernigerode to discuss the trauma over their origins.

The project aimed to create a breed of people that fit the Nazis' physical ideal and could manage a future empire.

It saw thousands of often illegitimate children placed in Nazi members' homes.

1. imagine the trauma of finding out that your birth was the result

of a breeding program to create a "master race".

or finding out that because you were blond with blue eyes, you were taken from your natural parents...??

I can't imagine the trauma and the shame...also couple that with people who would hate you because of it...

2. It'll fuck you up

I have an in-law who was (is?) married to a lebensborn child. He has been living in little more than a hut in the California desert for the past 20 years, incredibly paranoid about the government knowing his whereabouts. And that's the least of it. :scared:
