"""Sergio Luzzatto has unearthed a moving story and is telling it masterfully: how after 1945 some 700 young children who survived the Holocaust found refuge in northern Italy and ultimately emigrated to Israel. It is a dramatic story, beautifully and importantly told!""--Alon Confino, author of A World Without Jews ""Moshe's Children is a charming work. Written by an Italian scholar and now wonderfully translated into English, it tells the story of a children's house established by a a Polish volunteer in the British Army in Italy that served to offer a haven to orphans of the Holocaust, to rehabilitate them and prepare them for a life in Palestine, which after 1948 became Israel. Moshe's Children presents Zionism in a manner virtually unseen today, as the hope for the transformation of the Jewish people and the role that Zionism played in the rehabilitation of Holocaust survivors.""--Michael Berenbaum, American Jewish University"
