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

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.

[@faithlesshound5621]

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.

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.

[@kellharris2491]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Playing this game kinda introduced me to this situation in the first place and opened my eyes for it. I highly recommend it.

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 had NO IDEA that ABBA member was a Lebensborn baby!!!

[@SaraMarie41]

I was about to bring that up

[@eileenmoran2100]

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

Heart breaking. Thanks for making this video. I hope this sort of human atrocity never happens again.

@@aiapihud4344 after the 🔯 destroyed Germany they took over all of Europe and North America. They then demonized any form of Love for white people and respect for there historical homelands. Calling any white person who tries to defend there people's interests a Nazi. Then they opened up mass immigration and specifically privileged non white immigrants to invade. Now white people are becoming minorities in almost all of there countries and soon they will be removed from there lands all together. The society is currently so demonic that it equates white people wanting white babies with Nazism. Any mention of the current power structure gets white people banned from social media,debanked and fired from there job. The situation is very scary and the 🔯 don't seem to feel any remorse for what they are doing.

You did an excellent job with an impossible subject.

Fantastic English accent, not just the accent but your delivery, content, etc. You should consider narrating audiobooks. New sub.

"... Ironically, the man at the top - Himmler - did not actually meet his own qualifications..." The same could be said for Goering, Goebbels, and the big smelly cheese himself. Bitterly ironic.

[@debralittle1341]

Such a wicked thing to do. I can't imagine the huge amount of people who's lives were ruined. Such a lot of suffering.

[@laradise_pg]

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.

“Shampoo the Wookiee” There’s a term I never wanted to hear

Marta Kirsten, who played the older sister in “Lost in Space”, was a Lebensborn child.

You mean the series from the 1960s? Wow. BTW completely unrelated, as a kid I had a fan crush on the girl who played the younger daughter Penny. She also had a role in The Sound of Music.

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.
