HITLER’S FORGOTTEN CHILDREN

Book ID/图书代码： 00532015B82945

English Summary/英文概要： Hitler’s Forgotten Children is a powerful, first-person account of being at the heart of one of the Nazi’s cruellest and most obscene experiments - the Lebensborn program to create a new Aryan master race.

In 1942, when she was 9 months old, Erika Matko was stolen from her family in St. Sauerbrunn in what was then Yugoslavia and transported to Germany to be ‘Germanized’ in the Lebensborn program. She was chosen because, unlike her older brother and sister, she was blond with blue eyes, and passed a medical racial examination which classed her as Aryan.

Lebensborn farmed her out to politically-vetted German foster-parents. They re-named her Ingrid von Oelhafen and she grew up believing she was German. Then, one day, friends of her foster-family told her about her origins. It was the beginning of a life-long quest to discover the truth about her birth and the Lebensborn program.

It was a journey which would take her across Germany, uncovering the terrible secrets of Lebensborn - including the kidnapping of up to half a million babies like her and its deliberate murder of those deemed ‘sub-standard - and back to the village where she was born.

But here she would be faced with something even more painful: another woman who for more than 70 years had been living under her name – and living her life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書既是令人痛苦的個人回憶錄，也是對納粹惡名昭彰的「生命之泉計劃」可怕罪行的驚人調查。

由海因裡希·希姆萊（Heinrich Himmler）創建的「生命之泉計劃」綁架了歐洲各地多達50萬名兒童。通過稱為「德國化」的過程，他們將成為「最終解決方案」第二階段的優秀亞利安人下一代。

1942年夏天，納粹佔領的南斯拉夫，父母們被迫交出孩子給納粹進行醫學檢查，以評估其種族純度。當Erika Matko被納粹醫生宣佈她適合作為「希特勒之子」時，Erika Matko才9個月大。她被帶到了德國，並被經過政治審查的寄養父母更名為Ingrid von Oelhafen。多年後，Ingrid才開始挖掘關於自己身份的真相。儘管納粹破壞了許多生命之泉計劃的記錄，Ingrid仍發現了罕見的檔，包括紐倫堡（Nuremberg）關於她自己被綁架的審判證詞。在證據返回到她的出生地之後，她發現了一個更加令人震驚的秘密：一個名叫Erika Matko的女性，她從嬰兒時期就被送給了Ingrid的母親作為替代孩子。 (Zoe)

"An emotional read and engagingly written. " All About History

"A really interesting book on a little known subject ... we have to admire Ingrid for telling her story" -- Callmemadam, blogger

"A very readable look at an incredibly personal tale - the openness featured here is remarkable, as is the clarity of the writing, as the narrative goes from official history to personal ... The fact that so many Lebensborn sufferers have gone on to work for the care of others shows the Nazi idea behind it died a death a long time ago, even if the legacy still remains. The fact this book exists is a further success against the Nazi idea too, and as a result is worth the read." -- John Lloyd, The Bookbag

"Every once in a while you think you have heard the most grotesque and bizarre extremes of Hitler’s National Socialist madness and then another revelation comes along. Reading Ingrid von Oelhafen’s book was just such a moment. ... Two of the most remarkable features of this book are its human warmth and its absence of rancour. The author has every right to bitterness and self-pity after the treatment she received, but she yields to neither. Towards the end of the book she writes ’I knew I had to learn not just to understand but to forgive’. It is my belief that she has done both." -- Richard Littledale, blogger

"As someone who reads non-fiction books such as this one quite often, I was pleased overall with the narrative voice of Ingrid, and readers will really feel for her personal struggles to get answers to questions no one wants to answer. Her determination is admirable, and her positivity is outstanding, considering some of the hardships she has faced. ... I feel we owe it to her to at least try and understand what she alone has had to go through over the years, simply to find out what the rest of us take for granted: our true identity." --Jade Cranwell, Reviewing Central
