German officers examine Polish children of all ages, to determine whether they qualify as "Aryan." Approximately 50,000 Polish children were taken from their families, transferred to the Reich and subjected to "Germanization" policies. An estimated 250,000 children may have been stolen from their homes in Nazi conquered lands in Eastern Europe, in order to be evaluated to qualify to become “Aryan.” Those who failed to meet the standards were transported to work camps if they were judged physically able to perform useful duties. If not, they went East, back to Poland for the final solution. * 
A child who has been selected for deportation, bids farewell to his family through the wire fence of the central prison, during the "Gehsperre" action in the Lodz ghetto. The Gehsperre (or Sperre) action was the deportation action that took place in the Lodz ghetto between September 5 and 12, 1942, which resulted in the transport of over 15,000 Jews, mostly children under the age of 10, the elderly and the infirm, to their death in Chelmno.* * Used with permission of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, www.ushmm.org The views or opinions expressed in this book and the context in which images are used, do not necessarily reflect the views or policy of, nor imply approval or endorsement by, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. to whom we are grateful for the use of their images. |
