Lebensborn e.V. IPA : [ˈleɪbənzˌbɔːrn], German : [ˈleːbənsˌbɔʁn] (literally: "Fount of Life&quot was a secret, SS-initiated, state-registered association in Nazi Germany with the stated goal of increasing the number of children born who met the Nazi standards of "racially pure" and "healthy" Aryans, based on Nazi eugenics (also called "racial hygiene" by some eugenicists). Lebensborn was established by Heinrich Himmler, and provided welfare to its mostly unmarried mothers, encouraged anonymous births by unmarried women at their maternity homes, and mediated adoption of children by likewise "racially pure" and "healthy" parents, particularly SS members and their families. The Cross of Honour of the German Mother was given to the women who bore the most Aryan children.

Any unfathomably cruel policy by the Trump administration will always mirror what the German Nazis tried to do.

Especially if someone with the last name of "Miller" is involved
