All Our Children

"I used to be scared of them. They seemed so different. They don't scare me any more. They're just children, aren't they? Just children"

January 1941

A terrible crime is taking place in a clinic for disabled children

The perpetrators argue that it will help struggling parents and lift the financial burden on the mighty German state

One brave voice is raised in objection

But will the doctor listen?

A moving examination of a terrifying moral dilemma, and a powerful story that shows what it takes for humanity and decency to be restored in a world that has abandoned them
