"In the canon of first-person Holocaust narratives, this is a book that will not soon be forgotten."-- "A rare and most important contribution to the field of Holocaust studies. This remarkable compilation of autobiographies of those who survived genocidal persecution as children is a living testimony to resilience and generativity under the most unspeakable conditions. Robert Krell, Martin Glassner, and the Holocaust Child Survivors of Connecticut remind us that the legacy of the youngest survivors of the Shoah is the triumph over Hitler's 'final solution.'"--Ira Brenner, Jefferson Medical College, Co-Author of "The importance of personal testimony has become an established principle across cultures and academic disciplines as well as in the field of mental health. But adult memories of traumatic childhoods continue to constitute a controversial issue. This collection, compiled by Martin Glassner, of memoirs of Holocaust child survivors covers a wide range of countries (including prewar Jewish life in Greece and Italy), and commentary by child psychiatrist and child survivor Robert Krell makes it an unusual addition to both the Holocaust and trauma literature."--Helen Epstein, Author of "Gripping memoirs of lost childhoods spent in hiding.

Stories of fear, panic, rage, self-blame, of bonding and loss many times over. Inspiring accounts of the human resiliency that triumphed over denial and grief, and led to productive post-war lives."--Jacques Kornberg, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, Author of Theodor Herzl: from Assimilation to Zionism.
