The Aid Organisation for the Children of the Country Road (German: Hilfswerk für die Kinder der Landstrasse) or just Children of the Country Road (Kinder der Landstrasse) was a programme of the Swiss charitable organisation Pro Juventute from 1926 to 1973 which, with the support of Swiss law enforcement and governmental institutions, separated hundreds of Yenish children from their parents and placed them in orphanages, foster homes, psychiatric hospitals, and even prisons, all with the aim of assimilation.
Forcible transfer of children from one national, ethnical, racial, or religious group to another with the intent to destroy said group is legally considered genocide by the UN.[1]
