Home Children is a common term used to refer to the child migration scheme founded by Annie MacPherson in 1869, under which more than 100,000 children were sent to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa from the United Kingdom. The practice of sending poor or orphaned children to English and later British settler colonies, to help alleviate the shortage of labour, began in 1618, with the rounding-up and transportation of one hundred English vagrant children to the Virginia Colony. In the 18th century labour shortages in the overseas colonies also encouraged the kidnapping of children for work in the Americas, and large numbers of children were forced to migrate, most of them from Scotland.

- Wolfskind (Zweiter Weltkrieg)
Wikipedia article
Resource Type: Article
Als Wolfskinder bezeichnet man die im nördlichen Ostpreußen am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges durch Kriegseinwirkungen und -folgen zeitweise oder dauerhaft elternlos gewordenen heimatlosen Kinder, die, um in den ersten Nachkriegsjahren zu überleben, in das Baltikum flüchteten oder dorthin gebracht wurden. In Litauen wurden sie als vokietukai bezeichnet, das heißt „kleine Deutsche“.
Der Wolfskinder-Geschichtsverein e. V. definiert Wolfskinder als „anhanglose deutsche Kinder und Jugendliche, die im Frühjahr 1947 dem drohenden Hungertod im nördlichen Ostpreußen zu entgehen versuchten, aus diesem Grund in Litauen in außerdeutsche Zusammenhänge gerieten und infolgedessen ihre Herkunft zeitweise oder mit Hilfe einer neuen Identität gar dauerhaft verschleiern mussten“.
