The Hidden Children: Secret Survivors of the Holocaust by Jane Marks
They hid wherever they could for as long as it took the Allies to win the war - Jewish children, frightened, alone, often separated from their families. For months, sometimes years, they lived in constant danger of discovery, in tiny huts, in wretched sewers, in barns and in woods. For many years secret survivors have suppressed these painful memories. In this book 23 adult survivors share their childhood experiences. The accounts include Kristine who, with her family, hid in the sewers of Lvov for 14 months, Rene who posed as a Catholic and was kept in a convent by nuns who knew her secret and Richard who, together with his family, lived in a cupboard for over a year.
