Verdingkinder or Contract Children - the hidden world behind the pristine image of Switzerland. It lasted until the 1970's. Kinderlandverschickung or KLV - extreme Darwinian camps run by the Nazi's during World War II. None of these institutions were openly acknowledged by those that ran them, and no one cared what happened to the children afterwards. How could a developed nation do that? Children of Nazi Germany were victims of Hitler's war machine as well, and it took a visit to my aunts family in Munich for me to understand how little support, discussion or understanding there was of this fact. As a 3 year old, my aunt was led by her 6 year old sister to the Swiss border and asked to cross alone from Germany into Switzerland in the dark. How could a country leave their children to fend for themselves? Any information was in German, and most of that had been destroyed. I found some information on-line, but most I sourced from the University of Munich. (Then I used Google Translate to very slowly interpret events.)Switzerland offered nothing better while it tried to pretty up their streets and hide homelessness and poverty.
