Adopted as a child, Édith Pagot had no idea she had been born in a Nazi-run Lebensborn ("fount of life") maternity home until earlier this year, when her daughter began looking into their past.
"This photo is of a baby about 18 months old. It has my first name and surname on it," says Édith, holding a black-and-white photo between her fingertips.
Until a few months ago, Édith had never seen a picture of herself as a baby.

A photograph of Édith Pagot - when she was still known as de Vicar - in Indersdorf, Germany, at a former monastery and girls' boarding school that was converted in July 1945 into a children's centre following World War II.
