The goal of education was formation of a “socialist personality”, state run residential homes were supported, the other ones closed. About 495,000 children and youth were in normal residential homes and around 135,000 in "special" ones. 27,000 ex-institutionalized children demand reimbursement.
The special residential homes punished their inhabitants sending them to a working camp 'Geschlossener Jugendwerkhof' Torgau.
