Status prawny dziecka w niemieckim ustawodawstwie w Generalnym Gubernatorstwie (1939-1945)
The Legal Status of the Child in German Legislation in the General Government (1939-1945)

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the analysis of the legal status of the child in German legislation in the General Government. The authors present the status of the child on the basis of various legal regulations introduced by German occupiers in different areas of law. Most of the legal principles regarding to the child protection and child rights have been completely broken in German legislation in the General Government. The legislatures in the General Government did not carry out planned and systematic legislative activity towards children. However, the children’s regulations introduced by the German occupiers reflected the most important goals of Nazi policy. The regulations regarding to the child in the General Government show all the features of Nazi law: racism, violation of the basic principles of equity and justice. The authors concentrated in the article only on the normative sphere, omitting activities undertaken outside the normative sphere.
