Description
Narrates the situation of the Jewish children who were rescued by non-Jews and who were later reclaimed by family members or through Jewish organisations. Their diverse narratives testify to the complex situation in which children and adolescents found themselves after liberation. For many, their dual identity was not only an artifact of this transitional period, but also something that would characterize their future lives.
