two famous lebensborn babies are Marta Kristin aka Judy on lost in space. Her mother was Finnish but her father was a Nazi German soldier. Her mother brought her to a lebensborn home in Norway and she was adopted by an American couple at 2 years old. Frida Lyngstad the red headed singer in ABBA was the daughter of a 19 year old Norweigan woman and a German Nazi soldier that already had a wife and 3 children in Germanyy. he fled Norway when Germany lost the war before Frida was born. she was told he had died going back. she only met him well into adulthood. Fridas mother was considered a collaborator and she and Frida were targeted. they fled to Sweden along with Fridas grandmother. so Frida would not fall victim to her own country.. fridas mother died before she was 2 and she was raised by her grandmother in Torshalla Sweden. she's had quite the life
Frida ( Anni-Frid Lyngstad ) is sometimes demeaned as the most famous child of the Lebensborn program, even though that is completely incorrect as the SS played no role in her conception.

It’s called “selective breeding “ when it comes to animals. Not sure if that’s what you call it when humans are bred for a superior race. They wanted to take the emotion out of it. A world of human robots with the right DNA, looks, etc. Sounds so mechanical, laboratories, cold and calculating. Don’t forget about the Eugenics movement here in the U.S. The Kellogg cereal family supported this and Henry Ford participated. The U.S. is not so innocent either. Hope those children found so love and happiness with families that loved them. Disgraceful!
Broadly it is termed positive eugenics, which is policy or other actions that seek to perpetuate what is deemed superior human qualities usually through an establish social hierarchy. Here the term racial hygiene is also appropriate, which is a more extreme version of positive eugenics focused on believed/perceived differences in between races. Neither has any place in a civil society.

When I and my siblings were around 8 or 10, in early 50s, 2 boys were fostered, Leon and Willie. This was in Northern Ireland. We now believe they were orphans from Germany, who were rescued, presumably by the Red Cross.
the horrific cruelty by the Germans were exasperated by those other countries by denying these children their identity. But regarding the victims who carry this burden, they need to let go. They should live a good life and not feel ashamed because none of this was their doing. I am also adopted (but a bit later after the war) and I don't know who my father is other than he was a foreign soldier. I feel that I wasn't supposed to be here but I came anyway, so there you all go with feeling bad about my background and circumstances of birth. You should be and are entitled to feel good about who you are!

Over the years of my life I have heard stories of the terrible things that were done to women and children that is enough to give you nightmares for a very long time. The resilience that is shown by these individuals has made quite an impact on me. A lot of these women who left their children were poor and homeless and left their children where they were believing they had a better chance of survival. They were just as much victims as their children were. I hope this is never repeated in the history of humanity ever again. My heart goes out to them.
Im 51. The sickest sadistic stories I've ever heard come from the holocaust. Like mass sadists. How do you do this to other people? All the horrific experiments. How did otherwise "normal" people able to do this and go home to the wife and kids and do the regular family thongs. I just can't wrap my head around it.
@@lorir57280:07 if you beliefe the so called Nazis were the real problem then you must have misunderstood the term Nazi. Most believe it means national-socialists but it mesns Nationa- Zionist!! And the Zionist are still among us and are responsible for child trafficking, wars, and many aweful things more!! You will see ... the history you learned at school is NOT what really happened!! You can actually turn it around a 180 degrees! The truth is coming out one day.
One of the singers from ABBA - Annie-Frid Lyngstad was born as a result of the Lebensborn program. Her father was an SS soldier stationed in Norway in 1944. She never met or knew him however.
that was Frida the red headed singer. however she did indeed meet her father. his name was Alfred Hasse. she was told his ship sank when he fled back to Germany after Germany lost the war. he never contacted Fridas mother and she thought he died. he never saw Frida be born and already had 3 children and a wife back in Germany. at the height of ABBAs fame , he contacted Frida and they met a couple times till she cut off the relationship.
I believe this documentary was shown on PBS, but not on all PBS stations. It was years ago which is why these people don't look like they are in their 80's. They weren't in their 80's when they were interviewed. It is a very thought provoking subject. I first heard of the Lebensborn program at least 35 or 40 years ago, perhaps even in passing years before that.
It’s crazy how Norway hated the nazis for the eugenics and occupation while essentially discriminating against innocent children for being German, which is.. basically eugenics. These were innocent babies.
Not only that, but Scandinavia practiced their own version of eugenics during the 60-80's, where undesirable mentally deficient were sterilized. Still practiced in Iceland today, where they claim they're "cured" the problem of babies being born with mental retardation. With what medical advancement? Some "new" technique called abortion. They just kill the undesirable babies.
What about Margaret Sanger that put up all planned parenthood sites in urban communities to preserve her race? She practiced eugenics and was affiliated with the 3rd Rike. The Democratic Party has adopted these practices. The age of Molac from biblical times is back.
So sad. So unfair. The babies didn't have a choice. Im sure some of the women didn't either. Being a pregnant unmarried woman at that time. Tell me the neighbors aren't looking at you with side eye
@@denalinde I wondered that too. Just because one had 'Aryan' blood doesn't mean that it wiped away any 'unwanted' genetics. Seems as though 'purity' was only in the eyes of the arrogant beholder.
Thank you for putting your comment up. I had heard of the baby houses, but was told that the children were given to the Elite of German peoples, I never thought that they would he given outside Getmany. 🙏
My mother came to England from Austria in 1955/1956 I was born in 1957. I was called a nazi because my mother was Austrian, this carried on from 6years. Children are innocent they are not to blame for what their parents did. You have my love and I wish you well
We great great grandchildren are innocent, we have this issue in Australia 🇦🇺, we are innocent we have done nothing, pushing hate onto those not born does nothing but feed hate…. X
@@GreyAlien11 Life doesn’t stop after birth. It’s not those who are for massacring hundred and thousands of people who have the moral high ground. Nice try though.
This is very interesting. I get why this is called "disturbing." Considering the heartache and darkness and evil that surrounded it. However, ALL babies are innocent. ALL babies are a blessing. No baby should suffer.
Where do you start with this horror, I was born in 1953, while at senior school in the 1960s, I was taught about WW2, the invasion of Counties , deportations of what the Nazis considered racially inferior people, to the death camps, the genocide committed therein the wholesale barbarity towards those who were forced into slave labour, those history lessons left the entire class in tears, every week being shown news reels, of the liberation of the varios hell holes, run by the nazis, is imprinted on my mind . It wasn't until I was in my late 30s that I heard about, the systematic murder of the disabked & mentally impaired, which was a pre-cursor to the Holocaust. A bit latter I heard about the kidnapping of children from occupied Countries the nazis felt could be Germanised, because they met the ideal of the oerfect Aryan, being placed with the right Grrman families to ensure that ,In my 50s I came across an article about nazi policy in encouraging German women to have as many children as possible for the future of nazi conquest of the world, the placement of these children in state run homes to be fed from birth hatred of others not considered worthy. It seems that record's of these horrirs have been released at intervals & piecemeal to the public so even now we are still learning of the madness of the nazis, seeing this documentary has made me realise the phycological harm, stigmatisation, sence of loss if idenity they have suffered throughout their lives, it nakes you really grateful to have known who you are, where you came from & your family history, even if you were brought up in not perfect circumstances, at least you know who you are, these people are still seaching for answers, will they ever know the full story of their beginings & finally find true peace.I hope they find some peace by recording their lives so no one forgets them & their pain, they deserve that recognition. I can understand now why we have been fed nuggets of imformation in bits & pieces throughout the years, its because being given all the facts in one go, would have unhinged our thinking causing a blackout of our minds, so no one would remember, when we all need to & ensure the knowledge is passed on to the next geneation & not forgotten in some filing room or destroyed, word of mouth an oral history is the only way humanity will never forget the horrors of the past, Just a few months shy of being 71 I'm still learning the horrors if the past, the brainwashing of a willing nation by a bunch of psycopathic, sociopathic cadre of men with delusional opinions of people it's still heartbreaking today ,
I am watching this in August 2024. It's making me wonder about the fate of the two small ginger headed babies taken as hostages on October 7th from Israel into Gaza. Have they been sold to a wealthy family to be brought up to hate Israel and the Jews? There are still Nazis, just with a different name. May all our hostages be released and come home. It's been 9 months, what has happened to the poor young women?
@ yehuditcollins6783 Many of the children who were part of the program and are still alive have suffered PTSI - Post traumatic stress injury all their lives. As survivors of the Shoa have, and now the survivors of 7 Oct 2023. the people of Israel, and Jews everywhere, are suffering right now. Sadly the world believes the lies and deception of the propagandists and don’t realise the Ideology of Islam is Nazi just with different outer clothing. We pray the dear little Bibas boys will be rescued along with their mother and all the remaining hostages. Stay strong Yehudit and all Israel - you are not alone. Despite the many from the nations who pour salt on your wounds there are multitudes of Ger around the world who stand with you. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱
My grandmother is part of this and when I do dna test the last name I was told doesn't connect to anyone. My grandmother is Norwegian,German,from Dillenburg Germany and married a polish man and fled by ship to Canada in early 50s.
Wow! You learn something new all the time. Thank you for sharing this documentary about Lebensborn. Very informative and interesting. Please continue to share such eye-opening documents about history. I hope others see this and learn from our collective history.
Now they just kidnap all the children they need. How many have been stolen from Ukraine? My heart aches for those children and the parents who lost them. And I wonder what is happening to them.
Where are the Maui children? And now the 300,000 immigrant children that crossed the United States boarder under Biden-Harris boarder Czar administration? We need to know who was involved with Epstein Island organization of enslaved children for SEX This was and is still outrages that we do not know more! 😡 Don’t abandon your questions or dismiss your anger. I pray for all of these victims 💝🙏💝 Don’t believe the lies..
I'm first generation born here in America on my dad's side. He was originally born in East Germany before my family fled to the West. They became legalized citizens when they entered the United States through Ellis Island. Prior to that, my grandfather was forced to participate in the war for Hitler and thank God became a prisoner of war by the United States. However, my grandmother was left in Germany with four small children. At one point she couldn't even afford to feed them and had to put them in an orphanage for a short time where food was also scarce. My grandparents disagreed with what Hitler was doing so they fled in order to not be killed. My family, like other Germans survived starvation, rape, homelessness, airplane firing, and a gunshot grazed my father's head.... It upsets me to know that Germans have been so hated over the course of the years but not all of them believed in Hitler's actions. They lost friends and neighbors... there are things I found out that have never made the history books. War is absolutely devastating and the children suffer so much. Anytime I feel sorry for myself it is a quick wake up call thinking about what my family went through.... and how many were massacred just for being who they were! I have nothing to complain about....
So deeply sad and to fathom the abuse they took from the lack of recognizing these children were spawns of evil doers and people had no compassion many anyway for what they suffered.
Poor innocent children with so many questions. Luckily the families that adopted them were kind. This video made me think of the orphans in Romania. I wonder what happened to them after the Cecescus' death and the collapse of the regime. I remember seeing videos of many children in orphanages without human contact and love, rocking and hitting their head on the side of the cradle. I hope they received proper care and are OK today as much as possible. Thanks for excelent and very informative video.
the fact that the info got withheld for 60 years from these children is so terrible. Governments still do things like that and withhold other info for 60 years in fields of health and other things.
My heart goes out to all these babies as adults now, to have all this on their shoulders after all these years, remember you are all warriors because you survived. Your original parents should be ashamed of themselves. They didn't deserve you at all. My heart aches for all of you Linda USA may God bless you all.
Its a good thing that they specified the " men and women of good origin". I can only imagine that that means people who fit the "good origin" aesthetic.
My grandfather was killed in a warplane during the holocaust. He was around 22. Grandfather was like almost a child. He loved the army. He saw a photograph of my mom. I wish that he survived. He would have bought a convertible. It was a vicious war.
As warped as this program was, I can see a woman rejected by her family and friends going there to give birth going there to give birth. I can also understand a totally destitute woman who’d otherwise die go to a home and consent to be a prostitute for the soldiers in order to survive. At least the men would leave you alone for the time you were pregnant. As for the children, they are innocent. There’s no reason for shame on their parts. If I were one, or had adopted one I’d certainly get myself properly baptized. Who’d want to be baptized into the Nazis or to Hitler? Ugh!
What a cruel and desperated Time for all of them. Mothers , children etc. But the society is shunning others is unbelievable in a time everyone must be glad the war is ended or was over
Also there were children from countries occupied by the Nazis that were kidnapped and re-educated if they were considered Aryan - the vast majority of these kids never returned to their native countries because so many of them were so young when they were taken they would have been taken away from the only parental figures they had any memories of.
They also too Czech children from their parent. They did measurements of their heads, and if the child looked Aryan, they would be adopted by German parents. If they looked too Slavic, they were sent to concentration camps to die.
Isaiah 49:1-2 The Lord called me before I was born, from my mother’s womb he pronounced my name. He made my mouth a sharp sword, and hid me in the shadow of his hand. He made me into a sharpened arrow, and concealed me in his quiver. No matter how one is born, even in sad circumstances, GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Obviously not good but a safe, healthy option for willing women during a horrific time. I don’t blame the women. Germany looked unbeatable at a point🇺🇸
This is sad. These kids will now be nearing the end of their lives. There is no shame in being born. You become the person you are, just with some bumps and bruises that leave deep scars.
I knew about these children and I wondered how they fared in their lives. Basically, they were thrown away, discarded, and then blamed for whom they were. They were the most innocent victims of that insane, brutal, Nazi machine.
My grandfather came to America when he was 9, he was extremely racist, so much so that, he voiced his objection, that he was not happy that my son had brown hair and eyes, and he darker skin, he was not biracial, and one and only one of his grandkids was dark eyed hair and he was darker skinned, most of my cousins were very blond or red hair, extremely pale skinned,
yes Ani-Frid aka Frida the red haired singer in ABBA was one of these children. Her mother was a teenage Norweigan woman named Synni Lyngstad. Her father was a German Nazi soldier Alfre Haase. Haase fled Norway before Frida was born. He had a wife and three children back in Germany already. Frida didn't meet him well into adulthood and at the height of ABBAs fame. Synni kept Frida but was considered a collaberater. She and Frida were targeted by locals and had to flee. they along with Fridas grandmother fled to Sweden . Synnie died when Frida was 2 and her grandmother raised her in Torshalla Sweden

All humans are beautiful creatures of God , and deserve loving parents, and the truth about thier lineage. Due to the insanity of warmongering adults, this is what we have as a society, yet still, all the people who had to live with secrets and mysteries, including myself, are still as wondrous as any with a known bloodline.

I feel that it's really sad.What happened to these children and how terrible the start of their life had to be. Do you think it would be very interesting though for these children to take DNA test, Thanks more secrets and stuff.We didn't understand could be understood by those DNA tests.
I've done some research and I can't find anything yet. Sweden did collaborate regarding it's youth programs, with the Nazis, but that's all I've been able to find, so far.

When I and my siblings were around 8 or 10, in early 50s, 2 boys were fostered, Leon and Willie. This was in Northern Ireland. We now believe they were orphans from Germany, who were rescued, presumably by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is a leading child trafficking govt program.
According to other people the Red Cross is involved very deeply in the trafficking of children around the world!?
the horrific cruelty by the Germans were exasperated by those other countries by denying these children their identity. But regarding the victims who carry this burden, they need to let go. They should live a good life and not feel ashamed because none of this was their doing. I am also adopted (but a bit later after the war) and I don't know who my father is other than he was a foreign soldier. I feel that I wasn't supposed to be here but I came anyway, so there you all go with feeling bad about my background and circumstances of birth. You should be and are entitled to feel good about who you are!
Now that DNA kits are available you may find some of your family members.
I’m adopted as well. Closed adoption no identifying info. It sucks.
We are and we’re created by God in their image an likeness male and female thank Jesus and the HolySpirit Thank God for your Angels who watch over you heirs of salvation ❤️🕊️👑🫵🙌🫶

@@kashq502good one. You clearly understood what she meant but felt the need to point it out. Feeling superior?
Over the years of my life I have heard stories of the terrible things that were done to women and children that is enough to give you nightmares for a very long time. The resilience that is shown by these individuals has made quite an impact on me. A lot of these women who left their children were poor and homeless and left their children where they were believing they had a better chance of survival. They were just as much victims as their children were. I hope this is never repeated in the history of humanity ever again. My heart goes out to them.
Thats crazy that the children were blamed for the sins of the parents
Exactly never blame a baby or child for its parent's choices.
The Lebensborn program truly shows how sick and twisted the Nazis were.
Im 51. The sickest sadistic stories I've ever heard come from the holocaust. Like mass sadists. How do you do this to other people? All the horrific experiments. How did otherwise "normal" people able to do this and go home to the wife and kids and do the regular family thongs. I just can't wrap my head around it.
@lorir5728 Have you seen the movie, "The Zone of Interest" ? Very compelling.
I heard Hitler has his own personal chemist and he and his troops were all getting high on amphetamines just like the kamikaze air fighters
@@lorir57280:07 if you beliefe the so called Nazis were the real problem then you must have misunderstood the term Nazi. Most believe it means national-socialists but it mesns Nationa- Zionist!! And the Zionist are still among us and are responsible for child trafficking, wars, and many aweful things more!!
You will see ... the history you learned at school is NOT what really happened!!
You can actually turn it around a 180 degrees!
The truth is coming out one day.
It could have been any race if fueled by mind control.
One of the singers from ABBA - Annie-Frid Lyngstad was born as a result of the Lebensborn program. Her father was an SS soldier stationed in Norway in 1944. She never met or knew him however.
that was Frida the red headed singer. however she did indeed meet her father. his name was Alfred Hasse. she was told his ship sank when he fled back to Germany after Germany lost the war. he never contacted Fridas mother and she thought he died. he never saw Frida be born and already had 3 children and a wife back in Germany. at the height of ABBAs fame , he contacted Frida and they met a couple times till she cut off the relationship.
never knew that...thanks.
I was a Romanian orphan in Buzau in the 1990s. Oof I feel this. I live in America now.
I hope America has been good to you. From an American born and raised. Blessings to you 😌💜
As a throw away kid from the 70s, I say it doesn't matter who your parents are, but it's all up to you now.
Agreed at some stage, no matter what your past or parents one has to take responsibility for how they live their lives to the best of their ability.
I believe this documentary was shown on PBS, but not on all PBS stations. It was years ago which is why these people don't look like they are in their 80's. They weren't in their 80's when they were interviewed. It is a very thought provoking subject. I first heard of the Lebensborn program at least 35 or 40 years ago, perhaps even in passing years before that.
How has this not been made into a film?!
The Handmaid's Tale book, movie & series are very close.
@@megdelaney3677 Which a certain group in the USA seems hell-bent on bringing to life.

cos many would asked way more... where are aryans from and .... keep sleeping...
So sad that society treated them so barbarically. May their futures be filled with abundant love and hope.
All of these children were victims of war. All innocent children who did not choose to be born. Why do we have to hate? Nothing good comes from hate.
Beautifully done documentary... and very sad.
That’s got to be a bloody terrible thing to find out isn’t it ?
It’s crazy how Norway hated the nazis for the eugenics and occupation while essentially discriminating against innocent children for being German, which is.. basically eugenics.
These were innocent babies.
Not only that, but Scandinavia practiced their own version of eugenics during the 60-80's, where undesirable mentally deficient were sterilized. Still practiced in Iceland today, where they claim they're "cured" the problem of babies being born with mental retardation. With what medical advancement? Some "new" technique called abortion. They just kill the undesirable babies.
What about Margaret Sanger that put up all planned parenthood sites in urban communities to preserve her race? She practiced eugenics and was affiliated with the 3rd Rike. The Democratic Party has adopted these practices. The age of Molac from biblical times is back.
Six thousand children from Norway was born from the program they were treated unfairly after the war
So sad. So unfair. The babies didn't have a choice. Im sure some of the women didn't either. Being a pregnant unmarried woman at that time. Tell me the neighbors aren't looking at you with side eye
So sad. Horrific.
I’m curious as to what percentage of babies were born that didn’t fit the physical appearance and health criteria that ended up being killed? 😢
@@denalinde I wondered that too. Just because one had 'Aryan' blood doesn't mean that it wiped away any 'unwanted' genetics. Seems as though 'purity' was only in the eyes of the arrogant beholder.
I just want to hug these people. Totally innocent.
Unfortunately many grasped hold of their background and well. Thanks again, Slice. Take care, keep safe.
Thank you for putting your comment up. I had heard of the baby houses, but was told that the children were given to the Elite of German peoples, I never thought that they would he given outside Getmany. 🙏
This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen. I am so sorry this and all the other atrocities of this horrible war happened 😢
My mother came to England from Austria in 1955/1956 I was born in 1957. I was called a nazi because my mother was Austrian, this carried on from 6years. Children are innocent they are not to blame for what their parents did. You have my love and I wish you well
That’s so unnecessary. I’m very sorry you experienced that. The cruelty wasn’t just with the original perpetrators.
We great great grandchildren are innocent, we have this issue in Australia 🇦🇺, we are innocent we have done nothing, pushing hate onto those not born does nothing but feed hate…. X
@@GreyAlien11 Life doesn’t stop after birth.
It’s not those who are for massacring hundred and thousands of people who have the moral high ground. Nice try though.
@@Ketowski people are still alive today and they definitely will push fight mode, you have no idea, don’t play with me child
@@GreyAlien11 Your arrogance will do you in like every other arrogant overbearing know-it -all.
This is very interesting. I get why this is called "disturbing." Considering the heartache and darkness and evil that surrounded it. However, ALL babies are innocent. ALL babies are a blessing. No baby should suffer.
Where do you start with this horror, I was born in 1953, while at senior school in the 1960s, I was taught about WW2, the invasion of Counties , deportations of what the Nazis considered racially inferior people, to the death camps, the genocide committed therein the wholesale barbarity towards those who were forced into slave labour, those history lessons left the entire class in tears, every week being shown news reels, of the liberation of the varios hell holes, run by the nazis, is imprinted on my mind . It wasn't until I was in my late 30s that I heard about, the systematic murder of the disabked & mentally impaired, which was a pre-cursor to the Holocaust. A bit latter I heard about the kidnapping of children from occupied Countries the nazis felt could be Germanised, because they met the ideal of the oerfect Aryan, being placed with the right Grrman families to ensure that ,In my 50s I came across an article about nazi policy in encouraging German women to have as many children as possible for the future of nazi conquest of the world, the placement of these children in state run homes to be fed from birth hatred of others not considered worthy. It seems that record's of these horrirs have been released at intervals & piecemeal to the public so even now we are still learning of the madness of the nazis, seeing this documentary has made me realise the phycological harm, stigmatisation, sence of loss if idenity they have suffered throughout their lives, it nakes you really grateful to have known who you are, where you came from & your family history, even if you were brought up in not perfect circumstances, at least you know who you are, these people are still seaching for answers, will they ever know the full story of their beginings & finally find true peace.I hope they find some peace by recording their lives so no one forgets them & their pain, they deserve that recognition. I can understand now why we have been fed nuggets of imformation in bits & pieces throughout the years, its because being given all the facts in one go, would have unhinged our thinking causing a blackout of our minds, so no one would remember, when we all need to & ensure the knowledge is passed on to the next geneation & not forgotten in some filing room or destroyed, word of mouth an oral history is the only way humanity will never forget the horrors of the past, Just a few months shy of being 71 I'm still learning the horrors if the past, the brainwashing of a willing nation by a bunch of psycopathic, sociopathic cadre of men with delusional opinions of people it's still heartbreaking today ,
I am watching this in August 2024. It's making me wonder about the fate of the two small ginger headed babies taken as hostages on October 7th from Israel into Gaza. Have they been sold to a wealthy family to be brought up to hate Israel and the Jews? There are still Nazis, just with a different name. May all our hostages be released and come home. It's been 9 months, what has happened to the poor young women?
@ yehuditcollins6783 Many of the children who were part of the program and are still alive have suffered PTSI - Post traumatic stress injury all their lives. As survivors of the Shoa have, and now the survivors of 7 Oct 2023. the people of Israel, and Jews everywhere, are suffering right now. Sadly the world believes the lies and deception of the propagandists and don’t realise the Ideology of Islam is Nazi just with different outer clothing. We pray the dear little Bibas boys will be rescued along with their mother and all the remaining hostages. Stay strong Yehudit and all Israel - you are not alone. Despite the many from the nations who pour salt on your wounds there are multitudes of Ger around the world who stand with you. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱
My grandmother is part of this and when I do dna test the last name I was told doesn't connect to anyone. My grandmother is Norwegian,German,from Dillenburg Germany and married a polish man and fled by ship to Canada in early 50s.
Wow! You learn something new all the time. Thank you for sharing this documentary about Lebensborn. Very informative and interesting. Please continue to share such eye-opening documents about history. I hope others see this and learn from our collective history.
Now they just kidnap all the children they need. How many have been stolen from Ukraine? My heart aches for those children and the parents who lost them. And I wonder what is happening to them.
Where are the Maui children? And now the 300,000 immigrant children that crossed the United States boarder under Biden-Harris boarder Czar administration?
We need to know who was involved with Epstein Island organization of enslaved children for SEX
This was and is still outrages that we do not know more! 😡
Don’t abandon your questions or dismiss your anger.
I pray for all of these victims 💝🙏💝
Don’t believe the lies..
I'm first generation born here in America on my dad's side. He was originally born in East Germany before my family fled to the West. They became legalized citizens when they entered the United States through Ellis Island.
Prior to that, my grandfather was forced to participate in the war for Hitler and thank God became a prisoner of war by the United States. However, my grandmother was left in Germany with four small children. At one point she couldn't even afford to feed them and had to put them in an orphanage for a short time where food was also scarce. My grandparents disagreed with what Hitler was doing so they fled in order to not be killed. My family, like other Germans survived starvation, rape, homelessness, airplane firing, and a gunshot grazed my father's head....
It upsets me to know that Germans have been so hated over the course of the years but not all of them believed in Hitler's actions. They lost friends and neighbors... there are things I found out that have never made the history books. War is absolutely devastating and the children suffer so much. Anytime I feel sorry for myself it is a quick wake up call thinking about what my family went through.... and how many were massacred just for being who they were! I have nothing to complain about....
So deeply sad and to fathom the abuse they took from the lack of recognizing these children were spawns of evil doers and people had no compassion many anyway for what they suffered.
Poor innocent children with so many questions. Luckily the families that adopted them were kind.
This video made me think of the orphans in Romania.
I wonder what happened to them after the Cecescus' death and the collapse of the regime. I remember seeing videos of many children in orphanages without human contact and love, rocking and hitting their head on the side of the cradle.
I hope they received proper care and are OK today as much as possible.
Thanks for excelent and very informative video.
So sad to be raised like cattle,no way to be born ,without love, just for a mad mans foul mind.
80 ans après tout le monde paraît étonné alors que beaucoup savait
Knowledge is power ❤
These are CHILDREN!!! This breaks my soul!! Especially when you have child with severe mental issues. Just Unbelievably Sad
the fact that the info got withheld for 60 years from these children is so terrible. Governments still do things like that and withhold other info for 60 years in fields of health and other things.
So sad. So unnecessary. Why treat innocent children like that? Because they had German blood? Horrible.
My heart goes out to all these babies as adults now, to have all this on their shoulders after all these years, remember you are all warriors because you survived. Your original parents should be ashamed of themselves. They didn't deserve you at all. My heart aches for all of you Linda USA may God bless you all.
I've seen this documentary before on YT. Do you upload others' work? Or has someone uploaded your work (except for having done so a few years ago)?
Its a good thing that they specified the " men and women of good origin". I can only imagine that that means people who fit the "good origin" aesthetic.
The Nazi uniform is so frightening.
My grandfather was killed in a warplane during the holocaust. He was around 22. Grandfather was like almost a child. He loved the army. He saw a photograph of my mom. I wish that he survived. He would have bought a convertible. It was a vicious war.
The mother abandoning her aon because she wanted to marry 😮😢 unbelievable!
One of many of the untruths of the Ayran 'race' was that they were blue eyed blondes....😊
This is so shocking and sad that adults can be so cruel to children. Its an unforgiveable crime.
As warped as this program was, I can see a woman rejected by her family and friends going there to give birth going there to give birth. I can also understand a totally destitute woman who’d otherwise die go to a home and consent to be a prostitute for the soldiers in order to survive. At least the men would leave you alone for the time you were pregnant. As for the children, they are innocent. There’s no reason for shame on their parts. If I were one, or had adopted one I’d certainly get myself properly baptized. Who’d want to be baptized into the Nazis or to Hitler? Ugh!
Hitler did a lot a crazy things!
I think himmler came up with the idea,s
I can't imagine my granddaughters being called names and shunned, those poor babies
What a cruel and desperated Time for all of them. Mothers , children etc. But the society is shunning others is unbelievable in a time everyone must be glad the war is ended or was over
Also there were children from countries occupied by the Nazis that were kidnapped and re-educated if they were considered Aryan - the vast majority of these kids never returned to their native countries because so many of them were so young when they were taken they would have been taken away from the only parental figures they had any memories of.
And placing Children or babies who are not having mental health issues in with ppl who are is criminal.
They also too Czech children from their parent. They did measurements of their heads, and if the child looked Aryan, they would be adopted by German parents. If they looked too Slavic, they were sent to concentration camps to die.
Horrifying…
Isaiah 49:1-2
The Lord called me before I was born, from my mother’s womb he pronounced my name. He made my mouth a sharp sword, and hid me in the shadow of his hand. He made me into a sharpened arrow, and concealed me in his quiver.
No matter how one is born, even in sad circumstances, GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Obviously not good but a safe, healthy option for willing women during a horrific time. I don’t blame the women. Germany looked unbeatable at a point🇺🇸
Frightening! Seems totally unbelieveable! One always wonders how this mass HENIOUS disaster could have been
It's so " unnatural " to abandon your own child .
I pray someday they all will have peace !
This is sad. These kids will now be nearing the end of their lives. There is no shame in being born. You become the person you are, just with some bumps and bruises that leave deep scars.
So egregiously sad what happened to these innocent children. 😞
Why a repeat from one of the other slice documentary channels ?
So incredibly sad and wrong what was done and still is hidden.
I knew about these children and I wondered how they fared in their lives. Basically, they were thrown away, discarded, and then blamed for whom they were. They were the most innocent victims of that insane, brutal, Nazi machine.
I always wondered what happened to all these babies. I wish they had been told the truth at age 18, but I understand the shame the mothers felt.😢
It didn't work. We are overwhelmed by the filth of humanity.
Wow. I am literally left speechless
This is a part of the Third Reich I had no idea existed. 😢 Appalling in every sense. I am so sorry 😢😶😩😡
Where are the first graduates of the program?
That mother didn’t really love her son, abandoned her precious boy for some man?
My grandfather came to America when he was 9, he was extremely racist, so much so that, he voiced his objection, that he was not happy that my son had brown hair and eyes, and he darker skin, he was not biracial, and one and only one of his grandkids was dark eyed hair and he was darker skinned, most of my cousins were very blond or red hair, extremely pale skinned,
When my father and mother forsake me then the Lord will take me up. Bible
Agnetha Folkskog, from Abba, was one of these.
What ? Where did you get this information from
No, Annafried, not Agnetha…
yes Ani-Frid aka Frida the red haired singer in ABBA was one of these children. Her mother was a teenage Norweigan woman named Synni Lyngstad. Her father was a German Nazi soldier Alfre Haase. Haase fled Norway before Frida was born. He had a wife and three children back in Germany already. Frida didn't meet him well into adulthood and at the height of ABBAs fame. Synni kept Frida but was considered a collaberater. She and Frida were targeted by locals and had to flee. they along with Fridas grandmother fled to Sweden . Synnie died when Frida was 2 and her grandmother raised her in Torshalla Sweden
no not Agnethea. it was Frida the red haired girl. she lead quit the life. movie worthy
It wasn't Agnetha it was the Brunette
This is the kind of thing that inspires people like J D Vance.
In what way?
How so? I doubt you know what you're talking about but just believe whatever you want. So, put you money where your big mouth is and be specific. How so?
Have you seen JD Vance’s wife?? She hardly fits the narrative!! What’s wrong with you???
Has anyone seen where they also put kids in foster care with known pedophiles. It ended in the 2000’s
This is so sad
So sad. Probably why Germanic people don't generally display affection. Many must have come from these programs.
Nope. That's just the way we are (and prefer). Has nothing to do with this program.
Well, ZED of France, it’s not so secret. I read about it a looooooooong time ago. You just catching up now? That’s good.

The problems with "compartmentalization..."

Birdhouses in SWEDEN? is this correct? Sweden was not occupied. Greatful if anyone who know can answer and maybe ad some links.

Hey youtube... how about putting a note that's relevant to the actual topic, like how these innocent children were victims too.
Great for them they got to enjoy a paradise while mine were systematically destroyed and we still haven’t made up our numbers
