Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover.Scholarly study by Dr. Nahum Bogner of the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem, examining the rescue of Jewish children in occupied Poland who survived under assumed identities, hidden with Polish Catholic families, in villages, on the streets, or in convents. Bogner draws on testimonies and memoirs to document the activities of the Zegota organization (which saved approximately 2,500 children, mainly in Warsaw), the lives of "Parobek" children working as farmhands under false names, and the experiences of children sheltered in convents. The second half of the book traces the postwar struggle to locate the hidden children and return them to the Jewish community, including the efforts of the Zionist Koordynacja for the Redemption of Jewish Children and the legal and emotional difficulties of removing children from the Christian families and convents that had raised them.
