Jewish Children’s Experiences during the Holocaust

Michlic, Joanna Beata LU (2025) p.346-364
Abstract

This chapter examines the experiences of children in the Holocaust in various geographic contexts. It raises questions about the avenues for rescue and survival of children and the limits of children’s agency. How did gender, age, and family background play a role? And how did children adjust to or resist their new - and supposedly temporary - separation from their families?.
