What is War Children

Individuals who are born to a local parent and a parent who is a member of a foreign military unit are referred to as war children. The act of having a child by a member of a hostile force is frequently regarded as a major violation of social standards, and this perception has persisted throughout history and throughout cultures. The native parent is frequently disowned by the family, friends, and society as a whole by the native parent. When referring to children who were born during World War II and its aftermath, the phrase "war child" is most widely used. This is especially true when referring to children who were born to fathers who were serving in German occupying forces in northern Europe. There were also children born in Norway who were called Lebensborn. The discrimination that local parents and children experienced in the postwar period did not take into account the extensive rapes that were committed by occupying forces or the partnerships that women were required to develop in order to survive the war years.
