Lebensborn, Then and Now

From Wikipedia:


Lebensborn e.V.

Lebensborn was established by Heinrich Himmler, and provided welfare to its mostly unmarried mothers, encouraged anonymous births by unmarried women at their maternity homes, and mediated adoption of children by likewise "racially pure" and "healthy" parents, particularly SS members and their families. The Cross of Honour of the German Mother was given to the women who bore the most Aryan children. Abortion was legalised (and, more commonly, endorsed) by the Nazis for disabled and non-Germanic children, but strictly punished otherwise.

The retired lieutenant general, a top figure in the far-right movement, has been one of the leading proponents of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election...

FYI, the one identified black person on this site can be found on the "Dating" tab under the name "Ivan Stian", but is better know as "A colourful portrait of a young black man" -- a stock image available from Adobe for US$119.00

Why they didn't come right out and name him Yuge Enics, we'll never know.
