Their Reasoning
The Nazi regime justified their actions with the claim that the Poles had “Polonized” ethnically German children.
The Nazis continued to reach for children throughout Europe, with special attention to northern European countries. Each child would go through the frightening process of testing, re-identification, indoctrination and for many, medical torture and death.
Damning Evidence
After the Second World War, documents that survived the Nazi attempt to destroy them all, highlighted the misfortune of the children from the Zamość area of Poland. Around 200 to 300 children came to Auschwitz where they received a lethal injection of phenol, one at a time. One account of this murder method said, “As a rule, not even a moan would be heard.
And they did not wait until the doomed person really died. During his agony, he was taken from both sides under the armpits and thrown into a pile of corpses in another room… And the next victim took his place on the stool.”
