Nowhere's child

Kari Rosvall's early life was shrounded in mystery until, at age 64, she received a letter through the post. In it was a photograph of herself as a young baby---the only one she had ever seen. Kari soon learned that she was a Lebensborn child, part of Hitler's program which encouraged Nazi soldiers to have children with Scandinavian women in order to create an Aryan race. And so began a journey back to her roots in Norway, where she was taken from her mother and sent to Germany in a crate to join other Lebensborn children. In post-war Germany she was rescued by the Red Cross from an attic.
