Description for Beyond Anne Frank: Hidden Children and Postwar Families in Holland
Paperback. Drawing on interviews with seventy Jewish men and women who, as children, were placed in non-Jewish families during the Nazi occupation of Holland, this book paints a portrait of Holocaust survivors whose experiences were often diametrically opposed to the experiences of those who suffered in concentration camps. Num Pages: 406 pages, 24 b/w photographs, 1 table. BIC Classification: HBJD; HBTZ1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 476.

Wolf paints a compelling portrait of Holocaust survivors whose experiences were often diametrically opposed ... Read more
