SWISS LEBENSBORN, OR THE SWISS-GERMAN GENOCIDE PLAN
("The Perfect Genocide")
Lebensborn means "spring of life". The "Lebensborn" project was one of
most secret and terrifying Nazi projects. Heinrich Himmler created The
"Lebensborn" on December 12th, 1935. One of the most horrible sides of the
Lebensborn project was the kidnapping of "racially valuable" children in the
eastern occupied countries (i.e. Slavic children). These kidnappings were organized by the
SS in order to take by force children who matched the Nazi's racial criteria. Hundreds of
thousands of children were transferred to the "Lebensborn" centers in order to
be "Germanized". In these centers, everything was done to force the children to
reject and forget their birth parents. As an example, the SS nurses tried to persuade the
children that they were deliberately abandoned by their parents. The children who refused
the Nazi education were often beaten. Most were adopted by SS families. In 1942, in
reprisals of the assassination of the SS governor Heydrich in Prague, a SS unit
exterminated the entire male population of a small village called Lidice. During this
"operation", SS made a selection of the children, 91 of which were considered as
good enough to be "Germanized" and sent to Germany. It is nearly impossible to
know how many children were kidnapped in the eastern occupied (Slavic) countries. Low
estimates speak of more than 250 thousand, high estimates of millions of children who were
kidnapped and sent by force to Germany. Only 25,000 were retrieved after the war and sent
back to their families. It is known that several German families refused to give back the
children they had received from the Lebensborn centers. In some cases, the children
themselves refused to come back in their original family: they were victims of the Nazi
propaganda and believed that they were pure Germans. Their indoctrination was so
"perfect" that they showed racism and hate towards their birth parents, birth
countries and birth nations.
At the same time Himmler had created Lebensborn in Nazi Germany, his Swiss-German admirers
and collaborators have created their own version of “Swiss-Lebensborn” which, with
minor variations exists to this day and commits systematic and massive genocide of the
minorities. One thing that is not quite clear is whether Swiss were inspired by Himmler or
Himmler was inspired by the Swiss-Germans. It is not clear which one of the two, the
German Nazis or the Swiss Germans, had invented the Lebensborn system of genocide. Anyway,
with the end of the war the Swiss Germans have continued with their extermination of
minorities and they have brought their Swiss-Lebensborn system of genocide to a new level
of perfection.
The perfect Genocide: After the fall of the Third Reich, the
Swiss-Germans have brought genocide and mass annihilation of ethnic and cultural
minorities to a new level of perfection. The main components, the three main pillars of
the Swiss-German Lebensborn Project are the following:
1) “Amtsvormundschaft”
2) “Erziehungsberatung”
3) The
courts
The main trick of their success is that they hide their acts of genocide under the lies of
“child protection”. In fact the only thing the Swiss-Germans want to “protect” the
children of minority and mixed marriages from, are the “inferior” cultures and
languages of their ancestry. As is clear from the enclosed documents the Swiss-German
excuse for genocide (child germanization) parallels the Nazi “explanations” who had
tried to justify their child-kidnappings by “endangered health” of the children, and
their subsequent “protection”.
The enclosed documents from the Nazi trials after WWII prove that the current practices
and conduct of the Swiss-German courts, individuals and institutions, to the minutest
detail match and follow Nazi-Plans of genocide, child-kidnappings and germanization.
As was true with the victims of German-Nazi genocide, where children were first
“…subjected to a racial and psychological process of selection …” so it is true of
Swiss-German genocide of the ethnic minorities. In Switzerland so called
“Erziehungsberatung” offices, staffed by psychologists and psychiatrists have the task
to sift through children of minority-parents or of mixed marriages and to select
“racially valuable” children for Germanization. The
staff of Swiss Erziehungsberatung offices have taken over the same role as have had the
above described Nazi “Eignungspruefer” or “race examiners”.
As was true with the German-Nazi criminals also the various Swiss courts,
Erziehungsberatung, Amtsvormundschaft and other institutions work in close “…harmony
and co-operation … (with the) two-fold objective of weakening and eventually destroying
other nations while at the same time strengthening … (Swiss-Germans) … at the expense
of (other) nations.”
Amtsvormundschaft = The first pillar of the Swiss-Lebensborn. Swiss-German
Amtsvormunschaft is in fact a Swiss-German version of the Nazi Lebensborn institution,
which took “racially valuable Germanizable” minority children and isolated them from
the cultures and languages of their ancestry. Amtsvormundschaft, just like Lebensborn, has
the power to take the children from their birth parents and place them in an environment
in which they are isolated from the culture and language of their birth parent (or
parents) and impregnated with Swiss-German racism and Fremdenhass, including with the
hatred of the language and culture of their own ancestry.
As was outlined in the Himmler’s Nazi plan, the above-named Swiss institutions do
everything possible to limit or totally eliminate the influence of the minority parent,
and to give preferential treatment to those minority parents who are more willing to allow
the total germanization of their children.
The Swiss follow Himmler’s plans of stealing Slav children to the minutest detail:
“…it is our duty to take their children with us, to remove them from their
environment, if necessary by robbing or stealing them …”
Himmler in a letter of 18th June, 1941, where, speaking of Polish children, said the
following: “I would consider it right if small children, of Polish families, who show
especially good racial characteristics were apprehended and educated by us … the
apprehension of the children would have to be explained with endangered health” While
the Nazis tried to justify their child-kidnappings by “endangered health” of the
children, the Swiss-Germans mask their crimes against humanity under the cover of family
law and “child protection”, while in fact, as described above, the only thing the
Swiss-Germans want to “protect” the children of minority and mixed marriages from, are
the “inferior” cultures and languages of their ancestry.
The Secret of Swiss Perfection
What makes the Swiss-German genocide of the minorities so perfect? The secret of the
“perfection” is the perfect harmony and coordination between the three pillars of the
Swiss-German Genocide of the minorities:
1) Amtsvormundschaft (Modeled after the Nazi “Lebensborn” or guardianship commission),
2) Erziehungsberatung (psychological and medical race-examiners – to evaluate and
“justify” the criminal decisions of the “Lebensborn” or Amtsvormundschaft office),
and the
3) Courts (To either rubber-stamp and “legitimize” the criminal decisions of the
“Lebensborn” or Amtsvormundschaft office, or to make their own decisions which
intensify the germanization and aryanization of the children). In cases where the
“Amtsvormundschaft” doesn’t make the “right” decisions, the courts can override
them and order child-kidnapping, child-aryanization and germanization even above and over
the heads of the “Amtsvormunschaft”. In fact the courts are the key and final element
of the Swiss-Lebensborn and of the Swiss-German genocide of the ethnic and cultural
minorities, especially of the “racially valuable” Slavic children. (The practices of
the Swiss-German courts in the state of Berne are a prime example of the brutality and
ruthless genocide of the minorities by the Swiss-Germans.)
First, the Amtsvormundschaft, which works at a local level, identifies children of
minority or mixed marriages which it selects as targets of genocide. Any kind of excuse
they can find serves as a “reason” of their interference, a “reason” to get
involved in the alienation of the minority or mixed children from the culture and heritage
of their ancestry. The title they use “Amtsvormundschaft” or “Guardianship
Commission” serves as a cover for their involvement. They pretend to get involved to
“guard” the children, but the only thing, they really want to “guard” the children
from, are the “inferior” (in their view) cultures and languages of their minority
ancestry. The “Amtsvormundschaft” or “Guardianship Commission” has the same powers
as, and appears to be modeled after, the Nazi “Lebensborn” institution.
Sometimes they (the Amtsvormundschaft) go directly to the courts, which rubberstamp their
decisions. An appellant has practically a zero chance to appeal the decision of the
racially motivated and totalitarian “Guardianship Commission” (Amtsvormunschaft) which
“guards” the minority children from the cultures and languages of their ancestry.
Since the “Guardianship Commissions” are not made up of experts, to make their
minority-hostile and criminal decisions look “justified” and “scientific”,
occasionally they have their decisions rubber-stamped by Erziehungsberatung (Psychological
race-examiners), who double-check the children for physical and mental health and/or
defects and validate the germanization (Genocide) of “racially valuable” stock.
Practically the only children who get rejected by the Erziehungsberatung (Psychological
race-examiners) are those with mental or physical defects.
Those parents who become a nuisance to the perpetrators of the above described genocide of
the minorities, get framed with various “crimes”, which serve as a basis of their
deportation (of course without children!) and their permanent alienation from their
children, as well as assuring the “final solution” i.e. the permanent and irreversible
alienation of the minority children from the “inferior” cultures and languages of
their ancestry.
Since the members of the racially motivated “Amtsvormudschaft” or “Guardianship
Commission” are not experts, then how are they selected? They appear to be selected
politically, with those applicants having exceptionally racist and minority-hostile
attitudes getting preferential treatment. To find racist or minority-hostile citizens in
the Swiss-German areas is no problem at all. This selection process parallels the policies
of the Third Reich where members of the ruling Nazi party or SS-units have been awarded
sensitive and crucial political positions. The Swiss-German Amtsvormundschaft” or
“Guardianship Commission” has the same powers as, and appears to be modeled after, the
Nazi “Lebensborn” institution, which had been invented by Himmler and which had
kidnapped and Germanized hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of mostly Slavic
children.
To top of the perfection of the Swiss-German genocide of the minorities, the courts, which
rubber-stamp and “legalize” the entire crime of genocide, use pre-planned court delays
and postponements to achieve their goals. For example, any and all appeals of a parent
regarding contact with his/her child, get postponed until the children have been
irreversibly Germanized or until they have achieved adulthood. At which stage, as planned
and expected, the children will say that they do not want to have any contact with his
minority parent nor with the culture and language of his/her ancestry.
Court Delays: the tool of genocide
The most powerful and the most widely misused tool of the Swiss courts, in order
to achieve deliberate genocide and annihilation of the minorities, is TIME. They use the
factor of time to achieve their goals of genocide and ethnic cleansing in several ways:
1) They issue a “temporary” order giving the minority parent, without any valid reason
and mostly against the explicit wishes of the children, a brutally limited access to
his/her children in order to achieve the alienation of the children from the language and
culture of the minority parent. And they (the Swiss courts) “inadvertently” stretch
the validity of such “temporary” order into years, using any possible delay they can
think of. The real reason for the delays of the Swiss courts, whenever minority or
Swiss-minority children are involved, is genocide, i.e. their alienation of the children
from the culture and language of their minority parent’s ancestry.
2) After years of “temporary” forced alienation of the children from their minority
parent and his/her ancestral culture and language they either (under manipulated
circumstances) force the children to declare that they are no longer interested to meet
their minority parent. Then without regard of the right of the children and oblivious to
the genocide laws, they suddenly have a “reason” which justifies the preceding years
of “temporary” alienation and indoctrination with the Swiss-German variety of racism,
called “Fremdenhass”. After the children have been indoctrinated to believe that they
are now 100% Swiss-German and that any contact with their inferior “Yugo” parent would
be below their level, their attitudes to their minority parents can be well understood.
3) Despite any “wishes” of the manipulated, brainwashed or otherwise alienated
children not to have any contact with their minority parent, this does not allow the Swiss
state, nor any state, to alienate them also from the culture and language oft their
ancestry. To avoid any violation of the anti-genocide legislation, even if the children
did not want to meet their minority parent, the state cannot simply remove them also from
an adequate contact with the culture and language of the minority parent’s ancestry. A
replacement figure has to be found who will convey the values, language and culture to the
alienated and separated children. Of course there is never ever such attempt made in
Switzerland, when really the real reason for the alienation of the children from their
minority parents is their total and full alienation from the culture and language of their
ancestry, their germanization, aryanization and indoctrination with Swiss-German
“Uebermenschlichkeit” (“above-humanity”) and “Fremdenhass” (Swiss-German
variety of racism). And any “reasons” specified by the Swiss courts or other agencies
are just excuses, just cover up for the real reasons for denying minority parents adequate
contact: genocide and the improvement of the “Swiss-German blood”.
4) Swiss judges know what Himmler knew, and that is the fact that Genocide through child
alienation and germanization is a factor of time. It doesn’t happen in a moment it takes
time. That’s why they use court delays and postponements in order to achieve their
objectives.

UNITED STATES MILITARY TRIBUNAL, NUEREMBERG,
10TH OCTOBER, 1947 - 10TH MARCH, 1948

Vol. XIII. London: HMSO, 1949
OUTLINE OF THE PROCEEDINGS
1. THE INDICTMENT
….
2. The acts, conduct, plans and enterprises
charged in Paragraph 1 of this Count were carried out as part of a systematic program of
genocide, aimed at the destruction of foreign nations and ethnic groups, in part by
murderous extermination, and in part by elimination and suppression of national
characteristics. The object of this program was to strengthen the German nation and the
so-called ‘ Aryan ’ race at the expense of such
other nations and groups by imposing Nazi and German characteristics upon individuals
selected therefrom (such imposition being hereinafter called ‘ Germanization ‘) ; and
by the extermination of ‘ undesirable ’ racial elements. This program was carried out
in part by
(a) Kidnapping the children of foreign
nationals in order to select for Germanization those who were considered of ‘ racial
value ’; ….
2. THE EVIDENCE BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL
….. The Main Staff Office of the
Reichscommissioner for the Strengthening of Germanism was the relevant directing body. It
operated under the supervision of Heinrich Himmler, Reichsfuehrer of the S.S. and Chief of
the Nazi Police. It was responsible for, among other things, bringing “ ethnic Germans
” into Germany, evacuating non-Germans from desirable areas in foreign lands, and
establishing new settlements of Germans and “ ethnic Germans ” in such areas. These
activities involved transfer of populations, Germanisation of citizens of other countries,
deportation of Eastern workers, deportation to slave labour of members of other countries
eligible for Germanization, kidnapping of
so-called “ racially valuable ” children for Germanization, participation in the
performance of abortions on Eastern workers, murder and plunder of property. The chief
defendant, Greifelt, was head of the Main Staff Office and in personal charge of one of
its branches, Amstgruppe B. The latter consisted of offices for economy, agriculture and
finance. He held the ranks of Obergruppenfuhrer of the S.S. and of Lt.-General of the
Police. The other accused who held high positions in the Main Staff Office as heads of
various branches, were : Crauz, Oberfuehrer S.S. (Senior Colonel), Deputy to Greifelt,
chief of Amstgruppe A, which consisted of the Central Office and the offices for
resettlement of folkdom and labour and in personal charge of Amt Z (Central Office) ;
Meyer-Hetling, Oberfuehrer S.S., Chief of Amstgruppe C, which consisted of the Central
Land Office and the offices for planning and construction, in personal charge of Amt VI
(Planning) ; Schwarzenberger, Oberfuehrer S.S., Chief of Amt V (Finance) ; Huelman,
Standartenfuehrer S.S. (Colonel), Chief of the Branch Office at Posen.
The leading position of the Main Staff Office was established by the Tribunal in the
following terms : “ The Main Staff Office was actually the directing head of the whole
Germanization program, co-ordinating the activities of the other organizations. Before the
end of the war, the activities of the Main Staff Office involved, among other things, the
expulsion and deportation of whole populations ; the Germanization of foreign nationals ;
the deportation of foreigners to Germany as slave labor ;
the kidnapping of children; and the plundering and confiscation of property of
enemy nations.”
The office for Repatriation of Ethnic Germans (VOMI) was responsible for, among other
things, the selection of “ethnic Germans,” their evacuation from their native country,
their transportation into “ VOMI ” camps, their care in these camps including
temporary employment as well as ideological training, and their indoctrination after final
employment or resettlement. It took large amounts of personal effects of concentration
camp inmates and of real estate, for the use of resettlers. It also played a leading part
in the compulsory conscription of enemy nationals into the Armed Forces, Waffen-SS, Police
and similar organisations. In addition, it participated in the compulsory Germanization of
“ethnic Germans” and people of German descent, in the forcing into slave labour of
individuals considered eligible for Germanization, and in the kidnapping of foreign
children. Werner Lorenz was the Chief of VOMI ; and Heinz Brueckner was Chief of Amt VI
(Safeguarding of German Folkdom in the Reich-Reichsicherung deutschen Volkstums in Reich).
The S.S. Main Race and Settlement Office (RUSHA) was responsible for racial examinations.
It was an advisory and executive office for all questions of racial selection. Racial
examinations were carried out by RUS leaders (Rasse und Siedlungs Fuehrers) or their staff
members, called racial examiners (Eignungspruefer), in connection with: cases where sexual
intercourse between workers and prisoners of war of the Eastern nations and Germans had
occurred ; pregnancy of Eastern workers ; children born to Eastern workers; classification
of people of German descent ; selection of enemy nationals, particularly Poles and
Slovenes, for slave labour and Germanization; kidnapping of children eligible for
Germanization; transfers of populations ; and persecution and extermination of Jews. Otto
Hofmann was the Chief of RUSHA from 1940 to 1943 ; Richard Hildebrandt was the Chief of
RUSHA from 1943 to 1945 ; Fritz Schwalm was Chief of Staff of RUSHA ; and Herbert Huebner
was the RUS leader for the Warthegau, Poland.
The “Lebensborn” Society existed long before the war and was primarily concerned with
running a maternity home. It was contended by the prosecution that, within the racial
scheme for annihilating nations under German rule, it was responsible for kidnapping of
foreign children for the purpose of Germanization. Max Sollmann was the Chief of
Lebensborn and in personal charge of Main Department A, which consisted of offices for
reception into homes, guardianship, foster homes and adoptions, statistics, and
registration; Gregor Ebner was the Chief of the Main Health Department; Guenther Tesch was
the Chief of the Main Legal Department; and Inge Viermetz was Deputy Chief of Main
Department A.
In regard to these organizations and their leading officials, the Tribunal made the
following finding: “Each organization had certain well-defined tasks, which after 1939
were modified or expanded as the recent war progressed. The organizations worked in close
harmony and co-operation, as will later be shown in this judgment, for one primary purpose
in effecting the ideology and program of Hitler, which may be summed up in one phrase :
The twofold objective of weakening and eventually destroying other nations while at the
same time strengthening Germany, territorially and biologically, at the expense of
conquered nations.” ……
….. “These thoughts make it most
recommendable to transfer those persons, who were not included in the German People’s
List but who live in a racial mixed marriage with Poles or who are of mixed German-Polish
descent, to Germany proper, if they are not especially active for the Polish ideology. The
final Germanization can be achieved in Germany proper. Children from such German-Polish
racial mixed marriages have, whenever possible, to be educated in Germany proper and in
German surroundings (educational institutions). The influence of the Polish parent must be
excluded to the greatest possible extent.
“ Probably only a small part of the Polish population within the new Reich territory can
be Germanized ; the easiest way will be to transfer them, and especially their children,
to Germany proper, where, as a matter of course, a collective employment or settlement is
completely out of question.
“Special treatment of racially valuable children.
“ A considerable part of the racially valuable
groups of the Polish people, who, on account of national reasons are not suitable for
Germanization, will have to be deported to the rest of Poland. But here it has to be tried
to exclude racially valuable children from the re-settlement and to educate them in
suitable educational institutions, probably like the former military orphanage at Potsdam,
or in a German family. The children suitable for this are not to be over 8 to 10 years of
age because, as a rule, a genuine ethnic transformation, that is, a final Germanization,
is possible only up to this age. The first condition for this is a complete prevention of
all connections with their Polish relatives. The children receive German names which
etymologically are of accentuated teutonic origin, their descendant certificate will be
kept by a special department. All racially valuable children whose parents died during the
war or later, will be taken over in German orphanages without any special regulation. For
this reason a decree prohibiting the adoption of such children by Poles is to be issued.
“ Any keeping of biologically healthy children in church institutions is prohibited.
“ Children of such institutions, if not
older than approximately 10 years, are to be transferred to German educational
institutions.
“Poles with a neutral attitude, who are willing to send their children to German
educational institutions, do not need to be deported to the rest of Poland. “
“ As already related, the final aim must be the complete elimination of the Polish
national spirit. These Poles who cannot be Germanized must be deported to the remaining
Polish territory.
“ In all cases of eviction of classes which
are racially equivalent to us and valuable, the possibility of a retention of the children
and their special education is to be considered. …….
……. The above programme was later developed by Himmler. In a directive entitled
“Reflections on the Treatment of Peoples of Alien Race in the East,” he spoke of the
necessity to bring about the extinction of alien races, and issued the following
instructions regarding the treatment of children: “A basic issue in the solution of all
these problems is the question of schooling and thus the question of sifting and selecting
the young. For the non-German population of the East there must be no higher school than
the fourth-grade elementary school.
“The sole goal of this school is to be:
Simple arithmetic up to 500 at the most; writing of one’s name ; the doctrine that it is
a divine law to obey the Germans and to be honest, industrious and good. I don’t think
that reading should be required.
“Apart from this school there are to be no schools at all in the East. Parents, who from
the beginning want to give their children better schooling in the elementary school as
well as later on in a higher school must make an application to the Higher SS and the
police leaders. The first consideration in dealing with this application will be whether
the child is racially perfect and conforming to our conditions. If we acknowledge such a
child to be as of our blood, the parents will be notified that the child will be sent to a
school in Germany and that it will permanently remain in Germany.
“The parents of such children of good blood will be given the choice of either giving
away their child ; they will then probably produce no more children so that the danger of
this subhuman people of the East obtaining a class of leaders which, since it would be
equal to us, would also be dangerous for us, will disappear ; or else the parents pledge
themselves to go to Germany and to become loyal citizens there. The love towards their
children whose future and education depends on the loyalty of the parents will be a strong
weapon in dealing with them.
“Apart from examining the applications made by parents for better schooling of their
children, there will be an annual sifting of all children of the General Government
between the ages of six and ten in order to separate the racially valuable and
non-valuable. The ones who are considered racially valuable will be treated in the same
way as the children who are admitted on the basis of the approved application of their
parents." ……..
Further evidence submitted to the Tribunal showed that all the general directions and
instructions set out above were strictly implemented. They resulted in the undertaking of
a series of criminal measures which are described in more detail below.
(iii) Kidnapping of Alien Children
One of, the measures undertaken by the accused in order to carry out the programme of
Genocide, consisted in forcibly removing from occupied territories children regarded as
racially fit to be Germanized. This policy was defined by Himmler in a letter of 18th
June, 1941, where, speaking of Polish children, he said the following :
“I would consider it right if small children, of Polish families, who show especially
good racial characteristics were apprehended and educated by us in special children’s
institutions and children’s homes which must not be too large. The apprehension of the
children would have to be explained with endangered health . . .
“ After half a year the genealogical tree
and documents of descent of those children who prove to be acceptable should be procured.
After altogether one year it should be considered to give such children as foster children
to childless families of good race. . . .”
Later, in 1943, Himmler formulated this policy in the following terms :
“I consider that in dealing with members of a foreign country, especially some Slav
nationality, we must not start from German points of view and we must not endow these
people with decent German thoughts and logical conclusions of which they are not capable,
but we must take them as they really are.”
“Obviously in such a mixture of peoples there will always be some racially good types.
Therefore I think that it is our duty to take their children with us, to remove them from
their environment, if necessary by robbing or stealing them. . . . Either we win over any
good blood that we can for ourselves and give it a place in our people or . . . we destroy
this blood. . . .”
Pursuant to this scheme Greifelt issued appropriate orders, known as “ Regulation
67/1,” where he instructed RKFDV and RUSHA officials in the following terms :
“In order to be able to regain for German Folkdom those children, whose racial
appearance indicates nordic parents, it is necessary that the children who are in former
Polish orphanages and with Polish foster-parents, are subjected to a racial and
psychological process of selection. These children, who are considered to be racially
valuable to German Folkdom, shall be Germanized. . . .”
………. The fate of the children allowed to be born was that of complete
Germanization from the cradle ; this was shown in a letter from Himmler’s office to
RUSHA :
“The reception into the care of the NSV or of Lebensborn of the child of good racial
stock will necessitate in most cases its separation from the mother who remains at her
working place. Particularly for this reason the reception into that care of the child of
good racial stock is only possible with the mother’s consent. She has to be made to
consent to it through interpretations by the caretaking office which set forth the
advantages but not the ends of this procedure. . . .”
The Tribunal took note of the fact that the mother was “ to be made to consent.”
(v) Taking away of Infants of Eastern Workers
As distinct from the kidnapping of grown up children for Germanization, the accused were
involved in a programme of stealing newly born infants of Eastern workers brought to
Germany as forced or slave labourers in factories and agriculture. This was done in
connection with the abortion policy, in cases where pregnancy was not discovered until it
was too late to perform an abortion or the child was born before pregnancy was discovered.
The following instructions were given in a Decree of 27th July, 1943 :
“After giving birth the foreign working women have to resume work as soon as possible
according to the instructions of the Plenipotentiary for the assignment of labor. . . .
“The children born by the foreign working
women may in no case be attended by German institutions, be taken into German children’s
homes, or else be reared and educated together with German children. Therefore, special
infant-attendance-institutions of the simplest kind, so-called ‘ Foreigners’
children’s nursing homes,’ have been erected within the billets where these children
of foreigners are attended to by female members of the respective nationality. . . . It is
therefore important that the children of foreigners who, partly, are of a similar race and
bearers of German blood and may therefore be considered as valuable are not assigned to
the ‘Foreigners’ children’s nursing home,’ but if possible, they are to be saved
for the German nationality and to be educated as German children.
“For this reason an examination of the racial characteristics of the father and mother
has to be carried out in cases where the father of a foreigner’s child is of German or
of kindred race (Germanic) . . .” ……..
“The defendant Max Sollmann, as chief of Lebensborn-together with that institution-is
charged with criminal responsibility in three specifications of the indictment, namely, the kidnapping of alien children, taking away infants of Eastern workers, and the
plunder of public and private property. With two of these specifications we have already
dealt. We now consider the charge concerning the kidnapping of alien children. …….
