To this reunion we managed to invite some survivors who came as babies from "Lebensborn" institutions to the Indersdorf children's center. Their unmarried mothers had abandoned them in centers of this Nazi organization in occupied France or Belgium. After having been cared for in Indersdorf they had finally been adopted by French foster parents, but learned of this fact only after many decades. Two representatives of the ITS joined this year's reunion in Indersdorf to personally hand over copies of the documents collected at the Tracing Service about the very participants and assist them in interpreting the often very personal information. A key event of the reunion was a symposium at the Greta-Fischer-Schule in Dachau about 'resilience': What helps children to master their future lives despite their worst traumatizations ? And all of the survivors gave a different individual answer.
