Description
A collection of memories from child survivors of the Minsk Ghetto, Belarus. Between 1941 and 1943 approximately 80,000 Jews lived in or passed through that place of terror; as a result of starvation and repeated brutal pogroms most did not survive. A few were helped by brave Byelorussian locals who risked their own lives to save them. Others managed to escape to the partisans living in the nearby forests. Some returned to Minsk to rescue their families and neighbours.
