Arolsen Archives - International Center on Nazi Persecution In working on individual cases, the researchers use the so-called Children's Register in the International Tracing Service set up by the Allies in 1948. The Nazis abducted seven-year-old Tamara in 1943. The German occupiers had already murdered her parents, and after first being put into children's homes in western Ukraine and in the Wartheland, in Poland, she was placed with a foster family. The foster parents, Emma and Oskar, were originally from Leipzig but had subsequently resettled in Kalish, in the Wartheland. They were told that Tamara was a German orphan from Odessa, in the Ukraine, whose parents had been shot by the Russians - a customary lie told in order to conceal the fact that a child had been abducted. A great many children from Bohemia, Moravia, Belarus, the Ukraine and Slovenia suffered the same fate as Tamara in the Second World War.
