    Hiking

    History:
    Under the leadership of the SS, blonde, blue-eyed girls and boys were snatched from their Eastern European parents and brought to Germany in order to "bump into" them in camps and homes. Such homes were also in Metten and Niederalteich in the Deggendorf district. The children brought home to the Reich were given new names and the traces of their origins were completely erased. Most of the children who were considered "unable to be Germanized" were deported to the Lodz concentration camp.
