But it rained

Last updated

"But It Rained" is a major hit from the popular Indian rock band, Parikrama. The song is inspired by kidnappings in the Kashmir valley, specifically an article published in a magazine about relatives of kidnapped people waiting with hope for them to return, even as many months have passed without any trace of them.

Lebensborn was established by Heinrich Himmler, and provided welfare to its mostly unmarried mothers, encouraged anonymous births by unmarried women at their maternity homes, and mediated adoption of children by likewise "racially pure" and "healthy" parents, particularly SS members and their families.

Abortion was legalised by the Nazis for disabled and non-Germanic children, but strictly punished otherwise.
