Los derechos humanos de los hijos de los soldados alemanes tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El caso de Noruega

Abstract

espanolLos hijos de los soldados alemanes en zonas ocupadas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial vivieron una situacion dificil una vez concluida la contienda. Fueron ninos que debieron crecer con el estigma propio de ser hijos del enemigo acompanado, en el mejor de los casos, cuando conviven con sus madres biologicas, con el que sufren ellas por haber elegido a un enemigo como pareja (si este fuera el caso). Un supuesto particular en este punto es el caso de Noruega, donde a estos menores se les unieron los ninos del Proyecto Lebensborn, pues en este Estado se abrieron casi tantos centros como en Alemania. Todos ellos crecieron con el rechazo de las sociedades en las que habitaban que veian en ellos una prolongacion de sus padres, que habian sido sus ocupantes, dispensandoles un tratamiento muy distinto del que por su edad merecian. Algunos de esos ninos acudieron hace diez anos al Tribunal Europeo de derechos humanos contra Noruega, al considerarse victimas de la vulneracion del Convenio Europeo por este Estado. EnglishThe children of the German soldiers in occupied areas during the Second World War lived a difficult situation once the war was over. They were children who had to grow up with the stigma of being children of the enemy, which was accompanied that of their biological mothers who suffered for having chosen an enemy as a couple (if this was the case). A particular case in point is Norway, where the fate of these children was combined with that of the children born out of the Lebensborn Project since in Norway almost as many racial purification centers were opened as in Germany. All of them grew up with the rejection of the societies in which they lived that saw in them an extension of their parents, who had been their occupier, giving them a treatment very different from the one they deserved because of their age. Some of these children turned to the European Court of Human Rights ten years ago with a complaint against Norway, considering themselves to be victims of the breach of the European Convention by this state.
