Recenzii
“A valuable addition to the field of Holocaust history that provides solid institutional information along with dramatic, poignant, heart-rendering tales of rescue and survival.”—Susan Zuccotti, author of The Holocaust, the French, and the Jews
“This testimony by Vivette Samuel is important not only because she describes dramatic events that took place during the occupation of France but also because she brings to light insufficiently known facts about an organization—the Œuvre de secours aux enfants (OSE)—whose devotion to human causes does honor to humanity. I confess that I read this book with a great deal of emotion, because I owe so much to the OSE. It was the OSE that, in June 1945, took charge of the four hundred ‘children of Buchenwald,’ [including me].”—Elie Wiesel, winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize
Notă biografică
Vivette Samuel had a long career in social work and lived in Paris, France. Charles B. Paul, a historian, is professor emeritus in the humanities department at San José State University. He was among the children rescued by the OSE.
