Represje niemieckie wobec dzieci polskich robotnic przymusowych na przykładzie działalności przytułków w Kreis Verden
German Repression against the Children of Polish Female Forced Laborers: The Example of Shelters in Kreis Verden

Summary/Abstract: The article constitutes an attempt to discuss the activities of the Nazi foreign children nurseries (ger. Ausländerkinder-Pflegestätte) in the Verden district of Lower Saxony. Despite the enormous scale of German crimes committed in the area, none of the Polish researchers have tackled this subject so far. The state of research on the matter is exceptionally poor. Not even a partial list of names of children who died in this region has been created, and thus the vast majority of victims remain anonymous. The article also details activities of maternity facilities in the Verden district by analysing conditions of childbirth and puerperium. Living conditions in orphanages for Polish children are also included in the research, with the focus being placed predominantly on one such facility in Cluvenhagen.
