This important reference work highlights a number of disparate
themes relating to the experience of children during the Holocaust,
showing their vulnerability and how some heroic people sought to
save their lives amid the horrors perpetrated by the Nazi regime.
This book is a comprehensive examination of the people, ideas,
movements, and events related to the experience of children during
the Holocaust. They range from children who kept diaries to adults
who left memoirs to others who risked (and, sometimes, lost) their
lives in trying to rescue Jewish children or spirit them away to
safety in various countries. The book also provides examples of the
nature of the challenges faced by children during the years before
and during World War II. In many cases, it examines the very act of
children's survival and how this was achieved despite enormous
odds. In addition to more than 125 entries, this book features 10
illuminating primary source documents, ranging from personal
accounts to Nazi statements regarding what the fate of Jewish
children should be to statements from refugee leaders considering
how to help Jewish children after World War II ended. These
documents offer fascinating insights into the lives of students
during the Holocaust and provide students and researchers with
excellent source material for further research. Provides readers
with insights into the vulnerabilities faced by children during the
Holocaust Shows how individual rescuers and larger (though
clandestine) rescue organizations sought to minimize the worst
effects of Nazi anti-Jewish measures against children Explains how
some Jewish children pretended to be non-Jewish as a way to survive
Showcases adult victims of the Holocaust who, despite the risks to
themselves, worked to save children
