This is a moving interactive experience based on real events that’ll stay with you for a long time.
You’re the adoptive parent of a young child, and you have limited resources available to meet his or her needs. It’s like Tamagotchi for people: you must decide when and what to feed your child, whether to change their clothes when they get dirty, what to say when they ask you difficult questions.
Those questions become increasingly difficult, because your child is a Lebensborn child.
The Lebensborn Programme was a Nazi scheme to breed a “master race”. Thousands of “racially pure” Norwegian women were impregnated by Nazi officers, and after the war those children were put up for adoption. That didn’t always go well.
Life wasn’t easy for Lebensborn children, many of whom were blamed for the sins of their fathers and treated appallingly. My Child Lebensborn shows you that through the eyes of your child as the community closes ranks against them. As you strive to give them your love and support, the world does the very opposite.
My Child Lebensborn isn’t hard to play, but it’s not an easy experience. That’s not just because it shows a tolerant, educated society turning against its most vulnerable members. It’s because by showing how the very best of us can be poisoned by the very worst, it couldn’t be more timely.
