Hitler's Forgotten Children

Ingrid Von Oelhafen & Tim Tate

2015

Hitler’s Forgotten Children (2015) by Ingrid Von Oelhafen & Tim Tate tells the story of a child born in Slovenia but stolen from her parents by Nazi occupiers.
Erika was one of many children stolen by Nazis and sent to live with a German couple. She was renamed Ingrid.
After the war, Erika/Ingrid began to uncover the story of her birth and fostering as she also learned about the full scale of what is known as the Lebensborn Program.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
