1/ In connection with 38 @_Stolpersteine_ being laid today in Burgwedel, I'm posting Nuremberg doc NO-4665, a letter to Himmler from E. Hilgenfeldt (NSDAP Welfare office) with concerns re visit to home for babies of "Eastern workers" (pic: slave laborers from occupied lands). 
@_Stolpersteine_ 2/ Author says: "all of the babies were undernourished. . 1/2 liter milk and 1+1/2 cubes sugar per day. . .with this ration the babies must perish within a few months. . .I was informed this agreement exists concerning the raising of these babies. . ."
@_Stolpersteine_ 3/ Author didn't know these homes were set up for infants of "Ostarbeiter" to be taken away and allowed to starve to death. Parents were "racially examined" if pregnancy discovered. Good results=baby sent away for adoption. Neg results=baby put in "Kinder-Pflegeanstalt" to die.
