The kidnapping and Germanization campaign of Polish children, planned by Heinrich Himmler, was one of the most horrifying crimes of World War II. Children deemed "racially valuable" were abducted from their families, subjected to examinations, Germanized, and then given to German families. The aim was to erase their Polish identity and raise them as loyal citizens of the Reich.

German doctors selected children by measuring the distance between their eyes, the size of their noses, and examining the shape of their skulls. They checked whether their physical and personal characteristics qualified them for the "master race". Children who did not meet expectations were sent back or "liquidated". All traces of origin were erased. Nazi officials did this so effectively that tens of thousands of victims of criminal policies never discovered their true identity.

The book touches on many previously unknown aspects, such as the fate of the stolen children of Polish workers deported to Germany. It also allows us to look at individual stories from a psychological and historical perspective. It shows how children coped with trauma, how they discovered the truth about their origins, and how this affected their adult lives. It is a story of courage, survival, and the search for identity in a world destroyed by war.
