Children of the Holocaust

By Paul R. Bartrop and Eve E. Grimm.

This book is a comprehensive examination of the people, ideas, movements, and events related to the experience of children during the Holocaust. They range from children who kept diaries to adults who left memoirs to others who risked (and, sometimes, lost) their lives in trying to rescue Jewish children or spirit them away to safety in various countries. The book also provides examples of the nature of the challenges faced by children during the years before and during World War II. In many cases, it examines the very act of children’s survival and how this was achieved despite enormous odds.

Paul R. Bartrop, PhD, is an award-winning Holocaust and genocide scholar and professor of history and director of the Center for Judaic, Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Florida Gulf Coast University.

Eve E. Grimm is senior advisor to the Center for Judaic, Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Florida Gulf Coast University.
