Description

Kari Rosvall’s early life was once shrouded in mystery until, at age 64, she received a letter through the post. In it was once a photograph of herself as a young baby – the only one she had ever seen. This was once step one towards her discovery of the dark secret of her conception.
Kari soon learned that she was once a Lebensborn child, a part of Hitler’s ‘Spring of Life’ programme, which encouraged Nazi soldiers to have children with Scandinavian women as a way to create an Aryan race. And so started a journey back to her roots: to Norway, where she was once taken from her mother and sent to Germany in a crate to sign up for the other Lebensborn children, and to post-war Germany and her eventual rescue by the Red Cross from an attic.
Nowhere’s Child is a remarkable story of reconciliation and of forging new beginnings from a dark past. In the end, for this woman who set up a new life in Ireland, it’s the life-affirming account of what it actually means to find a place referred to as home.
