Nursing home for foreign children, Children's camp site in Velpke, Germany.
The facility consisted of a corrugated iron barrack without electricity, running water, or proper medical equipment for infant care.
In 1944, from May to December, the camp housed 102 children of forced laborers who worked in the Wolfsburg and Helmstedt regions.
The cemetery in Velpke contains the graves of 76 Polish and 15 Russian children who perished at the facility during its operation.
Mothers were required to pay for their children's accommodation and burial expenses while working in nearby agricultural and industrial facilities.
The facility divided children into two sections: one for those considered healthy and another for those approaching death.
