Narrative
In French Children of the Holocaust, Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld, has created a volume of stunning documentary importance.
Drawing together archival evidence pried with difficulty from the French government, family testimony and photographs solicited by advertisements in Jewish publications in Europe, Israel, and the United States, and the Nazi's own lists of deportees--which were discovered, fading and crumbling, by Klarsfeld in a French Jewish archive.
The book represents the culmination of many volunteers' painstaking efforts to give testimony to the short lives of these Jewish children.
Photographs of over 1,500 of the children, gathered from their surviving relatives and family friends all over the world, bring life to their brief biographies.
Included with each photograph is the name, age, place and date of birth, home address, and the date and brief history of the deportation convoys that transported them to the death camps.
