Never Child’s Play: the Trauma of the Third Reich

Seduced by propaganda and serving at the front as child soldiers, hunted in hiding by Hitler’s henchmen, beaten and humiliated by their disillusioned fathers, in this three-part documentary the children of the Second World War tell their stories; stories which differ but have one thing in common: the trauma of the Third Reich.

The Second World War came to an end seventy years ago, but the scars remain. What did the smallest of the small have to suffer in this clash of the Titans? How can a child’s soul cope with so much pain? Author Hilke Lorenz and paediatric psychologist Dr. Andreas Krüger address such questions.
