As many as 11,000 babies were bred like this, across nineteen homes across the German Reich and beyond. A further 200,000 blond, blue-eyed children were stolen from their parents to be raised as 'good Germans'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritically acclaimed historian Catrine Clay traces the lives of two children raised in these extraordinary circumstances—one bred, one stolen—as they try to come to terms with their past, and forge futures of their own, long beyond the end of the second world war.
