Sommario/riassunto

Approximately 1.1 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 complementary text examine the arc of persecutory policies directed against European Jewry and 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.
