Kidnapped by Nazis as a baby
The Outlook Podcast Archive - A podcast by BBC World Service
Ingrid Von Oelhafen grew up in Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War, and she never knew her biological parents. As she got older, she discovered that she had a different name on her official documents, Erika Matko. This remained a mystery for years, until she discovered that she'd been kidnapped by the Nazis as a baby during the war, and was entered into a sinister programme to cultivate a so-called 'master race'. Her biological family were still in Slovenia, and Ingrid was determined to track them down. Ingrid spoke to Emily Webb.Presenter: Emily Webb Producer: Harry Graham Ingrid was voiced by Christine KavanaghGet in touch: [email protected](Photo: Babies taken during by the Lebensborn programme.
