The treatment of the children after the war in Norway is a real blight on Norway. They justified putting these small children in mental institutions and abandoning them by saying, 'Any child fathered by a Nazi can't be and won't be right in their minds', thus showing Norwegians themselves to have the same mindset they claimed to be morally against. The hypocritical irony of this is not lost on me and my modern personal experience here.
Those institutions had a much higher mortality rate than normal families, so sending children there was like making them play Russian roulette. Not quite the same as sending them to the gas chamber, more like an Irish Mother and Baby Home.
Yep. And that treatment can backfire pretty hard too. I was bullied for being the granddaughter of a German soldier, and I damn well near became a Nazi as a result. Being gay saved me from that I guess 😅
Yes, the roles can soon be reversed.
German children would also starve in Denmark, or be used to clear minefields right after WW2.
Historien er skrevet av seierherren, and so we only do our best to remember our mistakes
@@Donnah1979 its not reversing the roles
The children did not commit any crimes. They are victims as well and punishing them is inhuman and makes danish people not far away on a shitty morality scale than thoze nazi soldiers
Its as stupid as punishing todays jews for crucifying the Jesus
My paternal grandmother and her sister came from Lebensborn. When the war ended and the Nazis lost my great grandmother was left a single mother with two daughters she couldn't care for and for obvious reasons no one wanted to acknowledge them or help her care for them. Eventually she met a man that was willing to marry her, under the condition she gave away one her daughters. The man wouldn't raise both of her bastard Nazi babies. So she made the choice to give away the younger of the girls, my great Aunt. She was given to a local family, grew up down the road from my Nanny and her family. The girl never knew where she came from, or that she was even adopted. My Nanny is long gone but her sister, who we did eventually find, is still alive. Her family begged us not to reach out, that the stories we have to tell would be too damaging to an 80 something year old woman. We've kept our distance and just happy knowing she's okay and had a good life.
Another fun part of my family story.... My father, the son of a Lebensborn baby, grew up and married a Jewish woman and has three Jewish children and three Jewish grandchildren. We even found out through DNA testing that he himself, from his mother's side, is also about 25% Ashkenazi Jewish. So I guess the Nazis weren't all that good about weeding out all that dirty Jewish blood after all.
tbh if she dumped that guy and let another simp come along, most likely they would of raised both of the bastard childs. its pretty common these days
Glad you guys have a somewhat good story about this!
It just seems horrifying to me, but it's good to know the children who came out of it are not the hateful monsters Hitler wanted them to be.
@@MrPaxio Yeah, all she would've... whoops, I mean _would of_ had to do was wait 80 years for cultural views to shift and then find the right man. It's odd that she was so impatient.
Nazis actually would still breed with you if you were part Jew still they had a chart about it
@@MrPaxio You sound bitter. Also kinda giving off incel vibes
My great-grandmother was involved in this, thought not willingly. The nazis showed up to her house and took her young son (blonde haired/blue eyed) and said he'd be "educated properly". She never saw him again. This was 1939 in Poland, her name was Helena Canterbury, she fled to the US the same year after her property and all were seized
Was that kid your grandpa or great uncle you never met? Sorry if this is rüde im just genuinly curioues
@@lancerutland2278 He was my great grandmothers son so I guess that would make him my grandfather had he lived
@@jimmyjimjims7483i think if he survived then he’s ur great uncle, I’m guessing your great grandma had more kids and that he was the sibling or half sibling of your grandparent
Have you done any genealogy testing to possibly find them? I’m assuming if you did it, you would eventually connect the tree to distant cousins.
@@jimmyjimjims7483That's not how that works. He would not be your grandfather lol
When I was a kid in a primarily Italian school in Canada, the other kids would call me a Nazi alien. Absolutely floored me as both sides of my family fought in the war against the Nazis, and I'm not even German. I'm Ukrainian on my mom's side, and Jewish/Native American on my dad's side. My great grandma on his side was sent to a Residential School. It was so freaking bizarre being called such cruel names by rich 100% white kids. I mean, I grew up on stories about my grandma on my mom's side yelling at Nazis and shaming them into leaving the family that took her in as their own alone. She had fled from the Holodomor going on in the Ukraine after losing most of her siblings, and she picked up languages so quickly that no one knew she wasn't German until after the war, which she spent shaming German soldiers and getting absolutely Hench doing farmwork when she wasn't standing between them and the food they wanted to steal. Unarmed, yelling at them to shoot her, a good German woman.
She ditched the German identity as soon as the war was over, and our names are very obviously not German.
Growing up in Germany, Guttenberg thought us we were Aryan . My grandpa saw the wall built and I saw it come down ! I'm an army brat of many generations. And it's still going on!
When I came to Canada I was picked on and bullied and alot of racism, bigotry. Lots of name calling and "Nazi" ... I hate that word. We weren't allowed to say it as a kid lol it's like saying the n word here . I never heard that word before moving to Canada ...
Well let’s remember which side the Italians were on
"concentration camp for children" has to be one of the most terrifying and depressing phrases I've ever heard.

@@ScarsFromTomorrow1 Believe it or not, I was thinking about the US border one when I wrote the comment. I also know that standard concentration camps also housed children.
The treatment of the kids in non German countries is the saddest thing in this tragic story. Nazis being awful people is old news, but children who had no choice in their parentage being mistreated by whole societies? Revolting.
But the US has its own problem with native and hispanic children. You think it's not related but the Nazis actually quoted the US and our treatment of Hispanic people going through border inspections. The border was largely open and people would crossover to work on seasonal farming and cross back. Until the eugenics movement started. Then they started making the people women and children included strip naked and then they were "inspected" and then sprayed with pesticides.
The Nazis got the gas chambers idea from us. And even now we have many lost children and people caged at the borders when technically it is legal to come her requesting asylum. The US is largely undeveloped west of the Mississippi and actually has plenty of room to redistribute people. We are actually in a severe workers shortage.
We cannot support the aging population. The reason people don't want to fix the broken system is more about racism and fear of the white race losing power. Hell by then many congressmen were actually working with Hitler and agreed with him.
They learned it from watching the US.
And the US is still awful with how they treat non-white kids.
Alas that was considered normal, especially in classical and medieval times, and is still practiced in some countries today. It's a twisted extreme of the instinct to ensure one's own lineage, and it's one of many reasons that too much power mustn't be concentrated in one place.
They are guilty by association which they neither have control nor Influence.
"5 replies" and i only see two. hurray for open discussion, youtube.
my German grandmother went through this...she was "selected" despite she was married and had a small child - my father...she refused, and grandpa ended up at the Russian front as punishment...
What’s horrific is that I never learned anything about this in school. I knew the Nazis had a eugenics program but I didn’t know it was anything like this… thank you for posting this video, this knowledge NEEDS TO BE KNOWN
We never got past civil war in hs. So many things I learn as adult that should be have been taught in school. it sickens me.
I am from Germany and even in our history class it wasn't thought. We spoke about so many aspects of Nazi Germany and did spend many hours with learning about the Holocaust and euthanasia. But I learned about the Lebensborn project during personal research.

@@jcrow236 Many highschools skip over this sort of thing purposefully, just like how 99%of schools here in the U.S. outright avoid talking about neo slavery, and slavery after the 13th amendment
@@cliffdraco1771 the problem is unfortunately that the education plans are full of different topics and the number of lessons during a school year is limited. I had advanced history course and we spoke about the time of nationalism in depth. But there are other important historical topics too. German history isn't only 12 years of nationalism Weimar Republic, Colonialism, German Seperation and Reunion...
It's important but to learn about all the horrors caused during this time 10 school years wouldn't be enough.
The more obscure things I learn about the nazis, the more batshit insane they get. Every time I think they couldn't possibly have been any more deranged, history finds a way to prove me wrong. Those poor kids... I hope they're all resting in peace alongside everyone else who lost their lives to the regime.

@@minchen_2265 Never mentioned the US. I'm talking about Germany. Specifically I'm talking about the "undesireable" kids. I never said anything that would support or contradict that statement, but ok thanks.
@@maddiemaccheese8170 some things are just propaganda. Not trying to dampen what they did because they did commit genocide in the worst ways imaginable but if you go down some rabbit holes you'll see the stuff they added to sensationalize and make a profit off of what happened. Which is sick unless you directly were a victim of it.
@@maddiemaccheese8170 that's why the entire "holocaust denial" narrative is growing sadly. Because that 100% did happen but, a good bit of what is being said really was to make it a bigger story which raised red flags with a lot of people.
That's why we need to stop dehumanizing nazi Germany. Because the amount of people that actually believe that they wouldn't be apart of a government like that is utterly terrifying. Before the propaganda and echo chambers started they were like us. If people can't grasp how they'll condone something of that nature then history will be repeated. Especially with people within the left because they are so blind to the fact that meeting intolerance with intolerance only makes situations worse. Not better.
@@kevingarth6682 I never said any of this was untrue. The U.S. has committed atrocities as well, obviously. But I wasn't talking about the U.S. I was talking about Nazi Germany.
A polish friend of mine was traveling in Germany.while drinking in a bar, a local had a few choice words about Poles which she took exception to. She retorted that the nazis had kidnapped polish women to breed with to improve the German people,or something to that extent. She basically implied Poles were the master race, I guess.. The bouncers had to remove him,he got so aggressive after that lol
Your friend is based, good for her
What? Was your friend the woman who made that retort or the man who aggressively reacted to said retort?

My husband was the most adorable blond haired blue eyed little boy. We’re polish and he says when he was little his grandparents would say that he’s lucky he wasn’t born in WW2 because the Nazis snatched kids who looked like him. It wasn’t scary to him, he was too young to understand, but it speaks to the horrors of living in occupied Poland (or anywhere).
Excellent video. So disgusting and heartbreaking how the Nazis treated the stolen children. The amount of suffering they caused exceeds comprehension.

the woman receiving the diamond encrusted award looks dead inside. also there is a game on steam called My Child Lebensborn that centers around a single parent that adopts one of these children, specifically a lebensborn child born to a woman who lived in Norway and had the child with a Nazi soilder when Norway was being occupied by them. the game is really good in terms of game play and story in how it sheds a light on how horribly these children were treated and essentially blamed for the circumstances of their birth, and during the end credits they show quotes from lebensborn children from Norway about how they were treated. its a really heavy game but I think it handles the topic well and was not a topic I ever thought about until I found that game
Calling an unborn child a "Nazi fetal parasite" is kind of sick in its own right.
Im Sorry, WHAT?!
Its hypocritical for them to have this mindset. And in my opinion if a person felt this way, it also shows a lot of imsecurity in their own beliefs. If you think that you have to resort to killing children to spread your beliefs then your beliefs dont have a basis that youre confident in.
Yeah, kinda wrong to say that about an innocent unborn child, that had no say at all in the awful actions of the parents.
I can tell all this outrage is from men. Its a kind of black humor that you will find with pregnant women. If you think about it, a fetus is rather parasitic.
Humans are the same as cattle to Nazis, especially those with a working uterus. The USA slavery also had breeding farms for slaves, once the transatlantic slave pipeline was cut off. It was very profitable for the slave states. Thomas Jefferson mentioned how beneficial it was for Virginia.
I saw another video about a survivor of the Japanese military kidnapping young Korean and other girls from neighboring countries to be used by their soldiers with men in lines waiting their turn. Disgusting behavior.
They also did it to their own girls.

The christian bible says it the natural use of a woman. Women are to serve men and be in obedience and submission. It’s god ordained and natural.
In hs we had to do projects about different aspects of Nazi Germany. We were given a lot of latitude, very open perameters, and I observed a very interesting thing. Most people seemed to present a project based on an aspect of that time period that would have potentially affected them personally if they had lived there, then. My friend is very light complected, blue eyed blonde and she presented about the Aryan women breeding programs. I presented about how people from my religious background were treated. Another friend who was bi presented about how people who were suspected of being homosexual were treated. And so on. And I just found it fascinating how most of us were putting ourselves in that time and imagining what would happen to us, even when that wasn't the specific direction for the project.
Thats super cool :D
Sounds like y’all had a very creative class, making more of a project than expected. That’s a good thing

I'm appalled by the idea of taking , indoctrinating but also putting into labour camps and heartlessly killing any children
Also I cannot believe the level of indoctrination that these woman were to give up their children with no idea of where they will be taken just for their own comfort during pregnancy and twisted idea of nationalism
I'm a third-generation Polish American (intermixed with Pennsylvania Dutch German and a small amount of Bavarian from my mother and Polish and Midlands English from my father) and my paternal grandmother (whose parents immigrated from Galicia and Lodormeria, which were Habsburg lands) had dark hair and light blue eyes....common characteristics of Austrian Jews (of which shock jock Howard Stern is one and Hitler descended from), even though I have yet done that "spit-in-the-tube" test from Ancestry.
Yet this is what the Far-Left Red Fascists (Stalinist and Maoist Communists) want to do here in the US with our children.
Yes! Even if the conditions were seemingly ”good” and no one was ”forced” it was all based on indoctronation and propaganda. It was probably a strategic move to recrute young women. The whole idea of this program is so dehumanizing and sickening. I do kot get the obsession these kind of men and leaders have with breeding and making sure women keep on having children.

Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA was born to a Norwegian Mother and a Father who was a Sergeant in the Nazi Armed Forces. After her birth, her Grandmother took her to Sweden to raise her.

"Sixteen Babies" is a good name for a band. "Shampoo the Wookie" is their debut album.

I have a Navajo friend who was illegally adopted by that cult in Utah when she was born. She died recently at 70. "Taking" children off the Rez was common then. From what little I could track down these Utah people were also adopting these Natz babies. According to Vanity Fair at the time Rove worked for Bush, he was one of these babies adopted by a Utah family. His birth father was a Natz officer, Karl Rover.
Mormons are the worst.
So sorry to hear💔
That wasn’t adoption. It was kidnapping. They didn’t raise them like a parent would.
Do you mean Mormons?
@@redmoondesignbeth9119 Why do you spell Mormons as "Moormons"?
The one woman to have had 16 babies, that's basiclaly 12 years of being constantly pregnant, I couldn't imagine how awful that has to be, one out, another in, jeez... :S
She may have had many twins too.
Idk how good an idea that would be
That's the vision of the republican party! 🤣
Having 16 or more children was common in the pre condom era. My dad was one of 12 kids, he was born in 1920, and my mother was one of 13 (born in 1924) Both were born in England.
There were big families generally 5-10, anything higher, especially for one woman, must be hell. 😂 16 is craaazy, I can really on the medieval or bare sustenance type family, where it was kinda common for some, most, or all of your children die because llagues, food, winter, ect.

If you want a more emotionally raw experience of how the Lebensborn children were treated in Norway during that period I recommend the game "My Child Lebensborn" It's sort of a tamagotchi-esque storydriven game about taking care of a lebensborn child and the experience as their parent seeing how they are treated. It's not too long, but it's really sad.
I couldn’t even finish a video of someone playing it 😕😕
Why on earth would I want to do something like that

When I was young there was a family who had an adopted WWII German Arian bred child. We lived in NJ.

I know some EU countries don't allow home DNA tests as readily as the US does, I think anyone of Polish descent or anyone who thinks they were stolen should be allowed a private home DNA test.
I wonder if that would help. To assume that a pure race exists and would correlate with a specific country is a myth. Most it could tell you is if you have central european or slavic etc properties, but Europe is ethnically very mixed and also always has been pre WWII era, so that wouldn't help a lot.
I also doubt that those DNA yest results you see claiming somebody is 45% Italian or whatnot are even scientific at all. Being Italian is not a race but a way of life
@@wilhelminawyatt2634ethnicity exists…
Most polish people don't have "pure" polish genes. Before the war many people married internationally, polish history also made it so there's rarely anyone that doesn't have German, Russian or otherwise other European genes. DNA tests wouldn't do anything for a European person, unlike Americans that may have had their countries of origin forgotten or lost
I wonder if genetic testing would help their descendants find closure or if it would cause more emotional distress for them. I don’t understand how anyone could blame children for being conceived & born.
Some things are too painful to revisit.
i honestly don't know what. either you realize you were raised to be a nazi or you realize not only that but also the fact that you had loving parents at one point who were killed by the very thing you were raised to be. horrible, horrible situation
My great grandmother was given the „Mutterverdienstkreuz“, she had five children. After receiving it she went into the outhouse and threw it into the sh*t. It was not like she had wanted five children for the Führer. In a rather rural area she just didn’t have much of a choice.

@@annamelanie5151 She lived close to Wetzlar, so we‘re probably not related. But interesting that there were more women with this kind of attitude.

"What a surprise"
@@ManiyaVinas Why do you assume there was any rape in it? As a couple they could very well have considered it together, seeing as the program offered more means for their future children than a common life and work in a rural area.
Okay as someone who speaks German let me break down Mutterehrenkreuz, it's pretty simple once you deconstruct it.
Mutter - Mother
Ehre (noun) - Honour/Glory (etc.)
Ehren (verb) - to honour/to venerate (etc.)
Kreuz - Cross (this is pronounced like "kroits")
A confusing thing about German for English speakers (and others alike) is that they combine multiple words into one instead of hyphenating or simply leaving spaces. We do in this English too but we generally limit it to about two words whereas in German the sky's the limit.
The seemingly unending depths of horror committed by the NAZIs is what makes me hate how casually the term is tossed around these days. The reality of what that word represents should never be forgotten, trivialized, or mistaken. Yet, year after year, it seems to be losing more of its punch.
Oooooh da nazi boogeyman gonna get you watch out for da nazi boooogeyman

I remember my Grandma telling us how if her family hadn't escaped to the US she might have been taken away and given to a German family to raised as a Nazi and everyone else would been killed. Her family was Czech and her father was a vocally anti-Nazi newspaper editor in Prague, so they were on lists. She was only 3 at the time they escaped and she had blond hair and blue eyes, with some German ancestry. Everyone else in her family had dark hair, and hers darkened when she got older.
I have a sister who, in the early `90's, wanted to be a "breeder" for her boyfriend's little gang. When she told me, I was incredibly naive even though I am a year and a half older, I asked her, "Like a dog breeder? Like what they do with dogs?" This just made me think of that.

My father’s uncle was born from one of these women who were ment to have Nazis babies. After WW2 ended he was stashed in a closet for months because being discovered, after he was found he put in an orphanage where he was adopted by an abusive couple. Later in life he came to America and married my fathers aunt. I was close to him great up, he and my father’s aunt divorced a few years back and he passed away last year.
How is he your fathers uncle, is he brother of your grandfather? I mean did your father's uncle had and knew his siblings? Just curious
@@draganakandic9409he became an uncle by marrying the aunt
My paternal grandmother and her sister where both born in lebensborns and adopted by a couple who was fairly high in the party's hierarchy... not too proud of that but it is my family's history, I can't change that... not everyone was on the right side of events ^^
dig deep enough in any lineage, and you're bound to strike "oil" eventually... "right side" families being no exception. better to laugh it off.

Hey at least you’re not blood related to nazis
It's not your fault, so you shouldn't be ashamed of it either. I think talking openly about this, like you do, helps avoiding something terrifying like national socialism to happen again, with the premise of people being intelligent enough to learn from such horrible mistakes. (Which they are apparently not, unfortunately.)
I’d say that’s a fun fact in your family history but otherwise do not see it as a stigma
💔❤️
Proud of you for your vibe, awareness, and attitude
This does remind me of the historical fiction book, Someone named Eva. It makes a lot of sense of why her new "mother" was given medals and wanted her children to be the best of the best.
I read that book at highschool! It haunted me
THANK YOU! I was trying to remember the book I read on this topic and couldn’t remember the title.
I would very much like to tell my families story of the lebensborn. My German grandmother married a man, who was a lebensborn child, and had my mother with him. Their relationship did not last he was vile to my grandmother and she divorced him (sometime in the 70s, divorce wasn't so forbidden at that time) I have never met my grandfather because he was a terrible father to my mother and at 19 my mother just started to ignore him. She basically cut him out of her life. The last time she spoke to him was shortly after I was born when he found out she was a mother from my grandma. My mother informed him that he would never have the pleasure to meet his grandchild and that he wouldn't exist in my life. Which was true. The man I grew up with thinking was my grandfather actually was just my grandmothers boyfriend, which I didn't find out about until I was in highschool. Blew my mind to know I had a biological grandfather I had never met. Anyways very off topic. But from my grandmother I found out that my bio grandfather was actually a lebensborn child. His mother (my great grandmother) had signed up for the program and got pregnant. Problem was this was right around the time they stopped the program. So very pregant she went home with a child she never intended to have. She was young, and unwed and now had a child she was supposed to just give away. She hated my grandfather because she never wanted him. Apparently she was incredibly abusive to my grandfather, my grandmother says this is why he was such a terrible man. Anyway just thought it was an interesting fact I learned about my own family. Had it not been for the lebensborn program I most likely wouldn't exist in this world. It's a very strange and surreal thought to have. Coming from such a terrible past and wondering if the world would be better had that past not happen, but then I wouldn't be here to live in it. Anyways have a great night. Loved all the information in this amazing video.
What's always puzzled me is the concept of arianism. The Aryans came from India and are black haired, brown-eyed and have a swarthy complexion--the opposite of the blonde haired blue-eyed Germans. The Nazis knew this, they weren't intellectually impaired. So why?
Nazis were into goofy myths like Atlantis and the giants of Thule. The also took an interest in Tibet which is hardly a Nordic country. Nazism was more psuedo-science than science
It’s the white version of the ‘We wuz kangz’ meme.
I feel like there’s something to be said about the importance of manufacturing a mythos in order to try and solidify the “canon” of your ideology, therefore making it acceptable or justified in the eyes of a historical narrative. None of what they claimed about German or Aryan heritage makes any sense, especially from a migrational perspective of human history, but if it’s convincing enough to feed an impressionable population while they’re still in their earliest years of education, eventually you have generations repeating the same narrative. Quite terrible, and I agree, definitely laughable
actually the historical Aryans were from modern day Northern Iran / Armenia / Gorgia where practically all 'caucasian' (its in the name) people originate from.
um the nazi aryans were aliens who came to earth and had psychic powers they were blonde blue eye etc then bred with the lower humans and lost their powers
I really liked that you singled out Norway in this video
Because Norway was seen as the perfect Arian race to the Germans and with a population of less than 3 million Norway was the single biggest contributer to the lebensborn program
There was a stigma for these children all There life and it even followed in to their children
This is one thing I'm really ashamed of for my country 😔 this is a stain that we as a country must live with and never forget
Lest we commit the same crime all over
And yes it's kinda a nice story for Freda in ABBA but don't forget that
Because we actually don't know 12 to 15000 children was born in the program in Norway And we must never forget what we did to those children
So many lives ruined because we as a country wanted to give back som hatred to innocent children 😪😪😪😪
WE MUST NEVER FORGET WHAT WE DID TO THESE CHILDREN
AND YES OFFCORS THAT ALL SO GOES FOR ALL THE CHILDREN IN GERMANY AND POLAND RUSSIA AND ALL THE OTHER PLACES THAT THE NAZIS CORUPTED DURING WW2

Once again, there's a Star Trek reference that I'm surprised Simon didn't mention: in the Voyager two-part episode “The Killing Game” (season 4, episodes 18 & 19), much of the crew are involved in a Holodeck program involving the Nazi occupation of France. B’Elanna Torres is carrying the child of a German SS officer, even though she's part of the French resistance; when the Germans capture her resistance cell, the officer tells her “I will spare your life for now, but only because you are carrying a German child”.
much as I love star trek, I kinda feel like this video's about real life & mixing fiction into it dilutes the seriousness of the issue. Roxanne Dawson's baby was fine & had a mother who loved her, she was never in danger in the holodeck & that part of the storyline was only written to cover for the actor's real life pregnancy, it wasn't a topic they felt a passionate need to write into the show otherwise
Fun fact about that episode of Voyager, Roxann Dawson the actress that played Torres was heavily pregnant. Through out that whole season she wore something similar to a lab coat to hide the bump.
I love how you describe the German language as a keyboard-smash like Welsh isn't out there. Existing.
Which is also a very sad chapter in the history of the WWII , together with the Lebensborn children, the cildren born in the war of German and allied soldiers who were rejected everywhere and these innocent children had to suffer from it for a lifetime. It broke your heart to read stories like this.
It's basically one step removed from the handmaid's tale
There is a game called my child lebensborn. You play as a parent who adopted a child. The child was from the program. It's all about it and super interesting
The children deserve so much better💔
…god. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy who wrote the bill that eventually overturned Roe v Wade (with some of the other wording in there) got the idea from THIS playbook.
…I’m pretty sure I read one of the “reasons” in the bill’s wording (paraphrasing here) was because of “a demand for adoptable newborns.” (Nevermind that…there are thousands of kids in state care who need loving homes or reunions. NOPE! Who cares about the kids already here; let’s just punish ciswomen and afab genders for the ol’ Two to Tango/sometimes sexual assault + deny access to medical care, and not just for reproductive health; ANY medication that can cause harm to a pregnancy, or a non-existant pregnancy…)
Thank god my state voted to protect ALL reproductive rights and the medical personnel involves. But the state ammendment nearly didn’t pass. And there were far more political ads Anti Legalizing Abortion than there were in favor of the bill/breaking down the wording of the bill.
I swear every horrifyingly regressive idea political conservatives have can either be sourced back to Nazi Germany, or mirrors Nazi Germany.
Children shouldn't be punished which is not their crime nor should anyone but children are very vulnerable and susceptible to emotional and physical trauma.
If anyone is in Cologne Germany I highly recommend visiting the Gestapo HQ, the museum is so informative.
Every time I think I know about the rough points that happened, I’m forced to find out they were worse. So, so much worse and so very aware of what they were doing.
I live in Łódź, a city in Poland that had both second biggest Jewish ghetto in Poland and concentration camp for Polish children. During the war nazis named the city Litzmannstadt. The camp for children was destroyed by the Nazis at the end of the war and there is almost nothing in that place to indicate that such horrible place existed. The kids and toddlers (as we know the youngest was about 2 years old) were treated the same way adult prisoners of camp were treated. There were also two units. One was "normal" and the other was for bedwetters. The kids of "normal" unit had straw and infested blankets (as far as I remember) and bedwetters were sleeping on just the frames that were reeking of urine and mould growing in wet wood. Of course there wasn't such thing as changing clothes when the child wet themselves.
The kids did jobs as straightening the nails with their hands, made starw shoes, belts for gas masks and backpacks elements.
The most common reason to be in a camp was homelessness or no parents to take care of the child. But there were also children of partisans that were killed or sent to Auschwitz. Other reasons were stealing or "worry" that the child will become neglected.
There was no death penalties or crematories yet at least 200 children died in only that one camp.
People so badly want life to mean something. It does,but the length people go to in order to feel like they matter can be the stuff of nightmares.
You are absolutely correct. Couldn’t have said it better myself
My... My great grandmother had one of these medals. My mom got a f*cking tattoo of it on her shoulder-blade. F*cking hell...
Did your mom know what It actually meant??

Oof
"It was given to a woman who gave birth to 16 BABIES."
I... props to that woman for going through childbirth that many times.
As a Polish person, I'm really mad we are not taught about things like this in school. I was always sure that it's common knowledge, but some time ago I found out that my best friend had NO IDEA this even happened. Ever.
I'm just 14 and most things about history I know, I have researched myself. History lessons were always the bare minimum (my history teacher is a great woman, it's not her fault our system doesn't teach us a lot), and the books had a lot of text, but the smallest amount of information. Even when I'm looking at my history school book right now it just feels empty.
Have been taught about this my entire life. But for me the best line was “Nazi fetal parasite”. What a great line.
Ya i loved that!
@@Kitmuri Racism has nothing to do with Simon’s line. If your family was in Germany at this time like mine and didn’t follow the Nazi line, you were never seen again! It wasn’t just Jews. My grandmother was tortured in ways you could never imagine.
Nazis are disgusting human beings
Remember, the sins of the father are not the sins of the child until the child decides to follow in his footsteps & commit their own.
I pray for those who grew up never had any wonderful childhood because of those who took advantage of them.
Germany's 23 and me profiles must be wild
My uncle Bill was Polish and his youngest sister was taken and raised by a German family. His parents were murdered and he spent time in a concentration camp before escaping to England. He tracked his sister down after the war, but he could not understand why she would here nothing bad about her German home and family. So sad.

There is a book called "my name is Eva" about a young girl from Czechoslovakia who was taken after the German occupation into a facility who "germanfide" children who fit the Nazi standard (blond, blue eyed, certain shaped nose, etc) and then adopted them out to Nazi families as Lebensborn. Her adopted mother was adopting such children to recieve the Mother's cross.
Very sad book, but it's about Lebensborn.
I can say that the stigma of this children also could affect people that weren't actually a product of a nazi soldier. My grandma was born right after the war to a single mother in the soviet union. And although her father was a Jewish soldier (the irony), because she had blonde hair and blue eyes and the typical Aryan girl, she told me lots of people were suspicious about her and giving her the side eye.
The former use of ~"German brat" (Tysk-unge in Swedish) was something that we were told about pretty early in life here in Sweden.
I am definitely *not* proud of being a Swede when it comes to the 2nd World War. ("Neutral" my @$$)
My grandmothers mother (I think that's right) helped the Norwegian people and smuggled things over the border to Norway, at the risk of her life, so it's very nice to know that my family wasn't a-holes at least.
We're Sami/Sapmi, which makes my ancestors actions even braver.

There is a mobile game called "My child Lebensborn" where you take care of one of those children. It was developed with some of the actual victims and some (or all, I'm not sure) of it's profit gets donated to them. Playing this game kinda introduced me to this situation in the first place and opened my eyes for it. I highly recommend it.
Even the Wikipedia article for Lebensborn clarified that the kids “taken” were orphans and that they were given a home.
The other false assumption according to Wikipedia is Lebensborn is “misconception was that the programme involved coercive breeding. The first stories reporting that Lebensborn was a coercive breeding programme can be found in the German magazine Revue”.
So the idea that it was some type of “breeding farm” is also wartime propaganda. It’s amazing how many people still push this idea.
I had NO IDEA that ABBA member was a Lebensborn baby!!!
I was about to bring that up
She was not, her parents were a Norwegian Mother and a German Seargent in the German Army. I believe she was born in Norway, then her Grandmother took her and raised her in Sweden
This was a well done video. It was informative, and to the point. I like Simon's few bits of humor that helped lighten the impact of the presentation without disrespecting the material.
My mom was only 4 years old when sent to this "nutrition camp," within a prison camp where the rest of her family were prisoners. She was force fed. To this day (she is 86, now) she CANNOT eat spinach nor will she go near any large body of water.
Marta Kirsten, who played the older sister in “Lost in Space”, was a Lebensborn child.

It always fascinates and horrifies me when exposed to the premises and implementations of eugenics. And still to this day it exists hiding in plain sight, many government policies and NGO's around world at their core a driven by the warped and repugnant notions that are the foundation of eugenicists' thinking
The Gates Foundation has entered the chat!
Prove it
Specific examples, please?
Such as?
First; instead of specific instances I will offer up a litmus test.
1 Promotes genocide
2 Advocates for mandatory sterilization based on race or genetic defect
3 Advocates for racial purity or racial homogenization
4 Advocates for the promotion or demotion of social status or opportunity of individuals based their racial or genetic disposition
If any above are a yes for a group or governmental policy's stated intent or demonstrated objective they align with eugenic philosophies.
Second; for those unwilling to discern for themselves I will give two examples
A. The Tuskegee Experiments - often thought to only be racial motivated, however it was more insidious than just that
B. Multiple attempts (in various countries) to legislate the mandatory sterilization of people with genetic defects, primarily those with Downs Syndrome
Many in the US need to be reminded of this before we repeat history.
Russia's copying the medals for mass baby producers and the kidnapping of foreign children right now. Of course, a lot of their tactics are straight out of the Nazi playbook.

I'm one of the children of forced adoption in Queensland Australia, forced on women who gave birth to children when they were young or without a husband. They were pressured or outright forced to place their child for adoption, using humiliation and coercion. The practice horrifies me. I have no idea yet, who my mother is, but seeing what was done to these women horrifies me and shames me and one of my reasons for not searching for her is my shame for forcing that memory upon her.
Australia has an even darker stain. The stolen generation. An entire generation of children of Aboriginal parents were taken away from their parents at birth and put into orphanages to "civilize" them.
What the Nazis did, makes them both combined look like a paper cut by comparison.

I love the videos I have a personal connection to. My friends grandfather has his birth certificate/documents going to me because he was born a "biological Nazi" (his words not mine) and he sees no use in preserving this fact. Think I may show him this video and give him an idea of how relevant his circumstances of birth still are.
Idk if he'd want to know the circumstances of his conception, if he doesn't yet. Pretty heavy stuff finding your mom was (prob) raped and forced to raise you or be punished/killed.
@@andiward7068 From my understanding he managed to meet his real father and has nothing but good (aside from the Nazi aspect obviously) things to say about the man, his issues mainly involve his mother and the fact she was more than willing to keep producing children because she was a genuine supporter of the party. Hes one of the lucky ones, made it to the states while he was still really young and had the truth buried up until he was a teenager. By the time they managed to track his real father down he was just a regular old man with a bunch of stories from the war.
