Children from secretive Nazi program to meet publicly

Each one has a different story, yet they all bear the same hallmarks: lied to about their past, abnormal birth certificates, an inner feeling that something isn't quite right.

Gathered Saturday in this eastern German village known for it's knights castle with fairy tale spires, some 40 "Lebensborn Kinder" gathered

to share stories of aunts who turned out to be mothers, ice-cold adoptive parents who slid into alcoholism and the joy at finding a relative who embraced them as a member of their family. And this year, four years after they first started meeting and one year after they became an officially organized group, they gathered to tell their story to the public, seeking to correct historical misconceptions that Nazi's Lebensborn program was a high-end bordellos offering blue-eyed blondes to SS officers.
