Examining Lebensborn, the Nazis' secret Aryan breeding program implemented during WWII.

Documentary examining Lebensborn, the Nazis' secret Aryan breeding program implemented during the Second World War.

Aig àm an Darna Cogaidh, chuir na Nàsaich prògram briodachaidh dìomhair air bhog, leis an ainm Lebensborn. Air am breith ann an taighean-àraich sònraichte, bha a' chlann gu bhith ag ath nuadhachadh an SS, a' dèanamh cinnteach gum maireadh an Àrd Chinneadh.

Cha deach clàradh a chumail air pàrantachd na cloinne agus bha na bha an dàn dhaibh ann an làmhan nan Nàsach. Bha na h-athraichean aca nan saighdearan san SS agus b' e seo aon de na riaghailtean a bha air a chur fa chomhair gach boireannach aig am biodh leanabh Lebensborn.

70 bliadhna an dèidh làimh, tha a' chuid as motha den chloinn fhathast beò is iad a' feuchainn ri beatha ùr a dhèanamh dhaibh pèin, gun fios aca air an fhìrinn. 'S iad an sliochd mu dheireadh a bha fo riaghaladh riaghaltas nan Sòisealaich Nàiseanta. Tha am prògram seo ag innse sgeulachd mu phròiseact oillteil Adolf Hitler agus an luchd-leantainn aige, le teisteanasan bho na daoine a' dh' fhuiling.

During the Second World War, the Nazis invented and implemented a secret Aryan breeding program called Lebensborn. Born in special nurseries, the children were meant to renew the ranks of the SS in order to ensure the continuation of the master race. All records of their genetic parents were erased and their fate lay directly in the hands of the Nazis. Their fathers were all SS officers, a prerequisite for a woman to give birth to a Lebensborn child.

Seventy years later, most of these children are still alive, and have tried to rebuild their lives without knowing the truth, or hiding it. They are rare and exceptional witnesses and some of the last descendants of the National Socialist regime.

Illustrated with the testimonies of the victims, this documentary reveals this insane project created by Adolf Hitler and his followers.
