Produktbeschreibung
Sophie survived the Holocaust without even knowing she was Jewish, while her terrified, widowed mother worked for the Nazis in Poland as a "Christian" bookkeeper. Flora, orphaned by Final Solution, was shuttled through southern France, from convents to one Christian family after another, unsure of who she really was. Carla hid with her family in the apartment of a Dutch barber, while, on the floor below, the man who hid them would cut Nazi soldiers' hair. Sophie Turner-Zaretsky, Flora Hogman, and Carla Lessing (and her husband, Ed) survived not only the Holocaust?among the mere 10 percent of European Jewish children who did?but their own survival. Each of them ended up in New York, where they slowly emerged from the traumas of their childhoods, devoted their careers to helping others, and played important roles in the groundbreaking 1991 event that, for the first time, brought together hidden child survivors around the world.
