Wolf children (German: Wolfskinder) was the name given to a group of orphaned German children at the end of World War II in East Prussia. When the Red Army conquered East Prussia in 1945, thousands of German children were left on their own. Older children often tried to keep their siblings together, and survival—searching for food and shelter—became their number-one priority. Many went on food-scrounging trips into neighboring Lithuania and were adopted by the rural Lithuanian farmers, who often employed them. Most of these children made these trips back and forth many times to get food for their sick mothers or siblings .ISBN: 9789081408936 .
