Dear Mr Dohle,

No compensation for Lebensborn children abducted by Nazi SS

Children regarded as "racially pure" and abducted by the SS are not entitled to compensation, a German court has ruled. Up to 200,000 children were kidnapped and forcibly Germanized during the Nazi occupation of Poland.

As a child in 1942, Hermann Lüdeking was abducted from Nazi-occupied Poland, robbed of his identity and forcibly Germanized. He grew up in Lemgo, never knowing anything about his true roots.

"I still suffer from not knowing who my parents are," said Hermann Lüdeking, now a retired engineer from Bad Dürrheim in the Black Forest.

Although thousands of victims may have similar stories, few have the courage to talk about it the way Lüdeking has. In his lawsuit, he applied for "a one-time grant of state aid" for the kidnapping. But he said money is not the main issue. Instead, it's about "Germany recognizing us as victims."

Lüdeking said he was bitterly disappointed at the beginning of July when the Cologne administrative court's decision was finally handed down.

Dozens of adoptees from, among others, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Colombia and India today demonstrate in The Hague for financial support in the search for their biological parents. Recently, it emerged that many children from these countries were illegally adopted in the 1970s and 80s and that the Dutch government was looking away.

CARA had rejected adoption application after parents got US citizenship

The High Court of Karnataka has directed the Central Adoption and Resources Agency (CARA) to treat a couple who sought to adopt a girl child as ‘In Country’ (Indian) parents rather than ‘Intra Country’ parents. They had obtained US citizenship after applying for adoption and CARA subsequently rejected the couple’s application. The HC has, however, said that this case due to its “peculiar circumstances” will not be a precedent for similar cases.

The husband is an IIT graduate while the wife is a graduate from an IIM. They have worked in many MNCs and had worked in the USA for a while. Married in 2006, they have been residents of Bengaluru since 2016. They made an application for adoption in 2016.

They applied for adoption through the Central Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System (CARINGS) and were registered a Prospective Adoptive Parents (PAPs) in 2016. They were eligible for ‘in-country’ adoption at the time. But the husband obtained US citizenship shortly and it was intimated to CARA through a declaration. As per CARA’s direction, a new application was filed in 2017.
