The "Font of Life" Project.

Otherwise known as "Lebensborn", this was a project carried out by Nazi powers throughout Europe several decades past. I find it unsettling that such massive undertakings are still considered something to be kept hidden. I bring this to attention because after so many years, the children involved in this project very recently had an official meeting to meet one another and to discuss amongst themselves the effects this project had upon them.

I cannot imagine the revelation of one's past, to know that it included kidnapping and being placed with a "more suitable" family for the good of a regime. And, on that note, sometimes I find it shocking that some are so very functional with devastating knowledge, when others can fall apart with knowledge of incidents less severe. I am familiar with Van der Kolk's Trauma Theory, of course, but it is fascinating nonetheless. One might wonder if environment or upbringing might have something to do with it.
