I and my family have the same ancestry (Norwegian and German) and phenotype (blond and blue). Even my mother sounds like she could have been Lebensborn (blond and blue, Nordic phenotype, born in 1942 and is basically an equal mix of Norwegian and "Germanic Europe" (according to the dna test). But, we're not Lebensborn, just Americans (no unique origin). I'm just curious about your being "repeatedly attacked for it and being told you shouldn't exist.." Though bad treatment certainly happened to Lebensborn participants in Norway after the war, I wouldn't have thought it would have extended beyond the first generation. What decade did you grow up? Who is doing that to you? I've never experienced anything like that in America and I can imagine even less that it would happen in a European country. What country do you live? Btw, I also married a woman with German heritage (just another American, though) and with the same blond blue phenotype as well (and have 7 children). We've had just the opposite experience in America. For example, my very blond (and blue), and fair and Nordic 6'5' son, often attracts people's attention for his looks (especially girls).

I think a lot of those commenting need a little perspective adjustment. So much shock, outrage, and disgust directed at this program and yet people do the same thing today and no one cares or bats an eye. People select for specific racial phenotypes all the time, whether in selecting a marriage partner or even when selection a preferred phenotype for your child, if you use artificial insemination. Statistically, the blond, blue, Nordic phenotype is still the most preferred in artificial insemination, often even by those themselves who don't possess the same phenotype. Around the world, children are killed if considered imperfect, through abortion (Iceland claims, for example, to have eliminated downs syndrome. How? Simply by aborting the babies with the condition). The only thing people aren't currently doing, as far as I know, that isn't generally accepted, is kidnapping certain children. The kidnaping happens (child trafficking) but it's generally not considered acceptable. So, nothing new here and why is everyone acting so shocked?
