Children during the Holocaust

More about the book

Approximately 1.5 million Jewish children were murdered during the Holocaust. This book from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies tells the story of the Holocaust through the eyes and the fates of its youngest victims. Documents and accompanying text explore the arc of persecutory policies directed at European Jewry and examine its impact upon Jewish children and adolescents. Additional chapters reflect upon the experience of non-Jewish children as victims, perpetrators, and bystanders during World War II.
