During the Nazi regime many children and youth living in Europe
found their lives uprooted by Nazi policies, resulting in their
relocation around the globe. "The Young Victims of the Nazi Regime"
is a significant attempt to represent the diversity of their
experiences, covering a range of non-European perspectives on the
Second World War and aspects of memory. The book is unique in that
it places the experiences of children and youth in a transnational
context, shifting the conversation of displacement and refuge to
countries that have remained under-examined in a comparative
context. Featuring essays from a wide range of international
experts in the field, it analyses these themes in three sections:
the flight and migration of children and youth to countries
including England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, and
Brazil; the experiences of children and youth who remained in Nazi
Europe and became victims of war, displacement and deportation; and
finally the challenges of rebuilding lives and representing war
traumas in the immediate and recent post-war periods respectively.
In its comparisons between Jewish and non-Jewish experiences and
how these intersected and diverged, it revisits debates about
cultural genocide through the separation of families and
communities, as well as contributing new perspectives on forced
labour, families and the Holocaust, and Germans as war victims.
