Plenty of anecdotal stories of infant brothers and sisters not making it through hiding during the holocaust because of muffling their cries.

I don’t care enough to ruin my day by validating a of them though.

Okay, but I don't think this was intentional suffocation of the kids. This seems much more as an attempt to get everyone to survive

I read that parents ate some kids during famines. Could be bullshit though, I don’t want to look.

It's true. There are various witnesses of the Shoa who absolutely did testify this happened. I actually spoke to one of them in school - during highschool two survivors of the holocaust did come to my (German) highschool and talked about what they went through, extremely nice people with extremely horrible stories.

One of them explained how they hid in an abandoned building and how the mother of the other family hiding with them choked their 8 week old baby when there was a official patrol nearby and they had to stay quiet. Didn't help, they got caught shortly after and as far as we were told none of the other family made it.

The worst thing? It's one of the "less gruesome" stories the whole Holocaust has...

oh you can validate them real easy: it's anecdotal, thus false until actually proven.
