Opis

This work deals with the upbringing of children in educational institutions in the post-war period. Children in care spent their childhood in unimaginable conditions in church or state institutions. The educational methods and goals of authoritarian residential education were based on violence, power and forced labour. The paper describes the placement of young people in care under the Youth Welfare Act of 1924.
