About this title

Synopsis

Hidden under false identities in cities, on farms and in convents and monasteries, young Jewish children survived the war by the grace of kindhearted strangers. Their story is told by an historian who survived the war as a child. He describes how the emotional closeness so essential for survival made it so hard for the children to leave their host families after the war.

The book was awarded the Buchman Prize of Yad Vashem for Holocaust Literature.
