...and above us no sky

© Graswurzelrevolution The story is based on an authentic case, the odyssey of a boy, who is called Fritz Blume in the story, through forced psychiatrization from 1936 to 1953. For the National Socialist regime, children who grew up in orphanages were "useless eaters". They were considered "socially inferior". 200,000 people fell victim to this "racial hygiene" and the "destruction of unworthy life" by 1945. The collapse of the Nazi regime changed little in the conditions of the homes and institutions until the 1960s. Miraculously, Fritz Blume survived and testified to forced psychiatrization, violence and humiliation.
