Under the pretext of neurological research, German parents during World War II were forced to officially register every child even slightly different from the dictated norm. Physically and mentally disabled children, hyperactive ones or those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, were sent to the pediatrics ward of Lüneberg Hospital, to places where many of them never came back. What happened to those children? How could doctors lie to mothers, encouraging them to send their sometimes even completely healthy children for treatment? And what did they learn about the fate of their children afterwards? All these questions are answered in a documentary film made by the young student director Moritz Jakobi. It gives space to both specialists as well as witnesses to this tragedy. The film gently uses animated sequences in moments where reality would hit the viewer too hard, and thus complements the tragic stories of the children who served the beastly intentions of Nazi neurologists.
