Page "War children" Paragraph 85

In their pension age many war children from World War II feel free from occupational and family stress to look for their identity and their roots.

Often the children of corresponding German family are also interested to get in contact with the unknown war children of their father.

Public opinion looks now in compassion towards those innocent war victims hit by the bitterness of post-war thinking.

Only few of the biological fathers are still alive.

Most of the mothers did not utter any word to their war child as they were subject to bullying and humiliating procedures by their family members and neighbours.
