Children during the Holocaust, from the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, tells the
story of the Holocaust through the eyes, and fates, of its youngest
victims. This compelling book tells the story of the Holocaust
through the eyes, and fates, of its youngest victims. Following the
arc of the persecutory policies of the Nazis and their sympathizers
and the impact these measures had on Jewish children and
adolescents, the chapters begin with the years leading to the war,
to the roundups, deportations, and emigrations, to hidden life and
death in the ghettos and concentration camps, and to liberation and
coping in the wake of war. This volume examines the reactions of
children to discrimination, the loss of livelihood in Jewish homes,
and the public humiliation at the hands of fellow citizens and
explores the ways in which children's experiences paralleled and
diverged from their adult counterparts. The author also reflects
upon the role of non-Jewish children as victims, perpetrators, and
bystanders. Offering a collection of personal letters, diaries,
court testimonies, government documents, military reports,
speeches, newspapers, photographs, and artwork, Children during the
Holocaust highlights the diversity of children's experiences during
the nightmare years of the Holocaust.
