[ITS, Translated correspondences between a Polish mother and her daughter who is located in a foster home in Germany]
1 electronic resource (12 Pages)
The file contains a collection of letters between a mother in Poland and her daughter, living with German foster parents, initiated by the Lebensborn project of Heinrich Himmler. The letters, translated by the ITS from German / Polish to English show, how the 8 yr old girl changed in the course of her"Germanizatio". In the beginning the girl is writing in Polish but after changing her Polish name to a German one she starts identifiying with her German foster parents and is also writing to her mother in German. The mother wants her daughter back but the daughter, now with a German name and identity, prefers to stay with her German parents. There is also a note by the foster mother, asking the polish mother to let go of her child.
