The Wolfskinder Project: "Am I More German or Lithuanian?"

http://wolfskinderproject.blogspot.com/2010/03/am-i-more-german-or-lithuanian.html

Am I More German or Lithuanian? OLD DAYS: Erika Sauerbaum-Kaziuriene was lucky and rescued some of the photos from her childhood. She remembers all the years, places and people on the pictures, without having a second thought. Erika Sauerbaum-Kaziuriene is one of the oldest living German Wolf Children in Lithuania. She feels caught between two worlds. Unlike many other Wolf Children, she always knew she was German, that she was Erika Sauerbaum. But in Germany she will also be a foreigner. She has liv...

The Wolfskinder Project: Wolf Children Still Care About Each Other

http://wolfskinderproject.blogspot.com/2010/03/wolf-children-still-care-about-each.html

Wolf Children Still Care About Each Other. HAPPY MEETING: Bronius Dapkus (right), or Uwe Tritz in German, is glad nothing has happened to his friend Horst Potschies (left) at the border. PANEMUNE, LITHUANIA -. Just as good people took care of the German Wolf Children over 60 years ago, the old Wolf Children now take care of each other. The remaining Wolf Children in Lithuania mostly live in remote areas, many of them with bad health, aging without any proper public services for the elderly. My name is Ho...

The Wolfskinder Project: The Least Unfortunate Child

http://wolfskinderproject.blogspot.com/2010/03/least-unfortunate-child.html

The Least Unfortunate Child. PRIVILIGED: Luise was renamed Alfreda, but still she had luck with her “new” parents who let her get an education. Luise Quitsch-Kazukauskiene had luck in her bad luck. Today’s leader of the organisation for the Wolf Children got stolen by the right people. VILNIUS, LITHUANIA -. She was only five when she had to flee from the advancing Red Army. It is not much she remembers from those days; she describes it as she has a mosaic of small bits of memories. A freak of chance.

http://wolfskinderproject.blogspot.com/2010/03/left-behind-in-lithuania.html

Left Behind in Lithuania. AT THE SPOT: The so-called “Wolfskinder Denkmahl”, the Wolf Children Memorial, was erected in 1992 at the cross-road between Kaliningrad, Taurage, Silute and Kaunas. Head of the Wolf Children group in Taurage, Bronius Dapkus, is also the main caretaker of the memorial. MIKYTAI, LITHUANIA -. Bronius Dapkus is looking thoughtful at the memorial for the Wolf Children. His eyes are focused at the inscription and his mouth is tight-lipped. A place for choice. Take the eastern route, ...

http://wolfskinderproject.blogspot.com/2010/03/destiny-of-displaced-girl.html

The Destiny of a Displaced Girl. MARKED FOR LIFE: Aldona Zigmantiene (left), can not get peace from thinking about how her life could have been like if she had not been given away to a Lithuanian farmer when she was eight years old. Erika Sauerbaum-Kaziuriene (right) is a good friend and supporter. Aldona Zigmantiene (68) had to short legs and could not run fast enough, 60 years ago. That has weighed her down ever since. JONAVA, LITHUANIA -. 8220;Excuse me, but are you a German? 8220;Do I look like one?

The first Lithuanian exhibition about the Wolf Children took place in a church in the same area last summer. Also in the town of Silute, the local museum wants ...

The Wolfskinder Project: The Forgotten War Orphans - Hitler's Last Victims?

http://wolfskinderproject.blogspot.com/2010/03/forgotten-war-orphans-hitlers-last.html

The Forgotten War Orphans - Hitler's Last Victims? THE FOOTBOARD TRAVELLERS: Some German Wolf Children reached Lithuania by train. They were named "the footboard travellers", because they jump on to the train when departing and stood on the footboards. This picture is taken just outside Taurage, the first Lithuanian town after the Kaliningrad border. The Wolf Children were given a new Lithuanian or Russian identity, and many forgot their real names, origin and mother tongue. The Soviet rulers did not...
