Beschreibung

The first comprehensive study of Jewish children's flight from Nazi Germany to France-and their subsequent escape to America from the Vichy regime
 
At the eve of the Second World War, an estimated 1.6 million Jewish children lived in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of them escaped to Britain in the Kindertransport, only some 500 found a new home in France. Here they attempted to begin again-but their refuge would all too soon become a trap.
 
For the first time, Laura Hobson Faure brings to life the experiences of these children, and the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations who helped them. Drawing on survivors' testimonies as well as children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, Who Will Rescue Us? re-creates their complex journeys, including how some of them eventually found safety in America.
 
Hobson Faure paints a moving portrait of these children and their escape, uncovering their agency in the flight from Nazism-and knits together the network of the many who aided them along the way.
