The Nazi child snatchers exhibition tells the haunting stories of foreign children

A new exhibition on the site of Cologne's former Gestapo headquarters reveals how the Nazis snatched 300,000 'racially suitable' children from their families in an attempt to 'Germanise' them. One of those children, Halina Bukowiecka (top right), was stolen from her grandmother when she was just seven. She was starved, beaten, and packed onto a train for a 700-mile journey almost as bad as those endured by those sent to Auschwitz. Another child, a fellow Pole called Janusz Bukorzycki (bottom right), was also snatched from his family, to be beaten and starved every time he used a Polish word. But this twisted programme of mass child abduction is today almost forgotten, buried by the greater Nazi evil of genocide.
