During World War II, Nazi Germany orchestrated a systematic kidnapping campaign to abduct children from conquered territories, primarily targeting Poland, Ukraine, and other Eastern European countries. This campaign, known as the Lebensborn program, aimed to increase the Aryan population of Germany by forcibly removing children from their families and raising them in German homes. The children were subjected to harsh living conditions, indoctrination, and Germanization efforts, with the intention of assimilating them into Nazi ideology. The kidnapping campaign was a brutal and inhumane act that resulted in the displacement and suffering of countless children, leaving a lasting legacy of trauma and loss for the families affected.
