Reviews

By focusing on the experiences of the individual orphans and their carers the author has given the story about the Jewish orphanage in Leiden an essential depth. A remarkable and admirable book. - Prof. Dr. Hans Blom A study that should be used in Holocaust education; through this one example, the encounter with the enormity of the Holocaust can be better understood. - Prof. Dr. Dan Michman, Yad Vashem, Jerusalem

A remarkable and admirable book. - Prof. Dr. Hans Blom A study that should be used in Holocaust education; through this one example, the encounter with the enormity of the Holocaust can be better understood. - Prof. Dr. Dan Michman, Yad Vashem, Jerusalem
