HMTC Book Club September 11 - Cradles of the Reich by Jennifer Coburn (on Zoom)

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

During the Holocaust, while Jews were being systematically eliminated throughout Europe, babies were being born and nurtured through a secret Nazi breeding program designed to create more members of the so-called master race and build a Nazi-Aryan nation.  While the women trapped in the terrifying Lebensborn project are forced to give birth and turn over their children to the Nazis, three of the mothers-to-be secretly join together to find a way out of oppression and keep their children out of Nazi hands.  The discussion will be led by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence at the HMTC.
