Describes the experiences of children living in Europe during the Nazi regime, focusing on the crimes against humanity that were carried out against innocent children during the years before and during World War II.

Under the Nazis, Europe's children were simply objects available for use in the service of the totalitarian state. The children were subjected to euthanasia, eugenic selection, racist indoctrination, kidnapping, "Germanization", mass executions and slave labor. At the end of the war, uprooted children tried to search for their families and many never found them.

Recounts the story of the artifacts sold, confiscated, stolen, dismembered, defaced, destroyed, or buried during World War II and its aftermath.
