Beyond Anne Frank - Hidden Children and Postwar Families in Holland (Paperback)

The image of the Jewish child hiding from the Nazis was shaped by
Anne Frank, whose house - the most visited site in the Netherlands
- has become a shrine to the Holocaust. Yet while Anne Frank's
story continues to be discussed and analyzed, her experience as a
hidden child in wartime Holland is anomalous - as this book
brilliantly demonstrates. Drawing on interviews with seventy Jewish
men and women who, as children, were placed in non-Jewish families
during the Nazi occupation of Holland, Diane L. Wolf paints a
compelling portrait of Holocaust survivors whose experiences were
often diametrically opposed to the experiences of those who
suffered in concentration camps. Although the war years were
tolerable for most of these children, it was the end of the war
that marked the beginning of a traumatic time, leading many of
those interviewed here to remark, 'My war began after the war.'
This first in-depth examination of hidden children vividly brings
to life their experiences before, during, and after hiding and
analyzes the shifting identities, memories, and family dynamics
that marked their lives from childhood through advanced age. Wolf
also uncovers anti-Semitism in the policies and practices of the
Dutch state and the general population, which historically have
been portrayed as relatively benevolent toward Jewish residents.
The poignant family histories in "Beyond Anne Frank" demonstrate
that we can understand the Holocaust more deeply by focusing on
postwar lives.
