American Kinderfeld Frankfurt
American Childrens' Cemetery in Frankfurt
In 2020, we were able to do extensive research and discovered that there were many more children buried at this cemetery than we thought. They were buried in other sections: V, XVI, and XXIV. Another discovery is that these children came from military hospitals all over Germany, but there were also 2 children from France, and 1 from Turkey
Though many of these children are from military parents, not all of them are.
We keep a separate, private list that we use when families contact us, which has more details that we can then share with the families.
We believe the list of 695 burials is now complete.
