Definizione
In the Nazi and/or Axis concentration camps boys and girls under the age of 13 were typically not found amongst the prisoner populace. In the Nazi racist ideology, especially Jewish children were considered "useless eaters" and therefore often selected to die before deportation or shortly after arrival in the concentration camps.
