The Stolen Child (1993x3)

: 10, 1993

Tells the story of 200,000 Polish children stolen by the Nazis during World War II. They were taken to the Reich. The younger children were given over for adoption by Nazi families and the older ones went to Hitler Youth Camps or worked for German families as maids or farmhands. Those who did not fit were sent to concentration camps. The film focuses on the experiences of two cousins who were stolen on the same day. One was 4 years old and the other was 10. They both eventually returned to Poland but the experience marked them in different ways.
