Produktbeschreibung
Child survivors of the Holocaust have only recently
been recognized as a distinct group of individuals
who survived the war with a different experience to
the older child survivors. This book focuses on those
child survivors who were hidden. In hiding, some
remained "visible" by hiding within convents,
orphanages or with christian families. Others were
physically hidden and had to disappear from sight.
Most children often combined these two experiences in
their hiding.Eleven child survivors were interviewed
about their experiences and their transcripts were
analyzed and organized into meaning units. The
analysis revealed that he defining moment of being
hidden for these children was the suppression of
their identities as Jews. By being hidden, they had
to deny the essence of their core selves, including
their names, family details and connections to others
in a an effort to conceal their Jewishness. This book
provides a unique insight into these experiences for
a group of children, revealing their challenges and
ultimate resilience in the most extreme and
horrendous of circumstances.
