i remember learning about it but i can't remember the details.?

Question

ROUGHLY 20-30 years ago, some dictator in romainia, maybe russia, decided to raise the perfect generation. he had large ware houses with cribs lined along the wall, and each baby was feed, changed, and cleaned with little emotion from the nurses. so when they were adopted out, they had little or no personality. can anyone remember details, such as who the guy was? what country this happened in? when this happened?

serios answers ONLY i need to find this out for a school paper. i don't apretiate people giving scapegoat answers for points!

Answer 1

several such attempts
Turkey (and all islamic states) the "Devshirmeh" tax- boys 3 to 6 year old taken away from Christian families and enslaved, to be raised as fanatical muslim soldiers- Mameluks, Janissaries
Germany- during Hitler. A special programme designed to raise as many as possible aryan children- who were then adopted out.
Soviet union- Lenin and Stalin. Their programme took away children from "counter- revolutionnary elements". their names were changed and they were raised as fanatic soviets
Roumania- Causescu. His programme was mostly aimed at increasing the population numbers- by the introduction of massive creches and foster homes.
Cambodia, North Korea and China- Pol Pot/ Kim ir Sen/ Mao. Programme similar to the Soviet one, but involving massive numbers of children

Answer 2

I seem to recall it was Roumania, but the Nazi's did it in WW II in several countries.

The dark haired singer (Freda ?) in the group Abba is one of those babies. There was a show on the History Channel called Hitler's Perfect Babies (may have been Children)

Answer 3

Sounds exaggerated.

Answer 4

Are you sure this wasn't Norfolk?
