Winner of the 2020 Ernst Fraenkel Prize from the Wiener Holocaust Library Jewish Childhood in Kraków is the first book to tell the history of Kraków in the second World War through the lens of Jewish children’s experiences. Here, children assume center stage as historical actors whose recollections and experiences deserve to be told, analyzed, and treated seriously. Sliwa scours archives to tell their story, gleaning evidence from the records of the German authorities, Polish neighbors, Jewish community and family, and the children themselves to explore the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland and in Kraków in particular. A microhistory of a place, a people, and daily life, this book plumbs the decisions and behaviors of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Offering a window onto human relations and ethnic tensions in times of rampant violence, Jewish Childhood in Kraków is an effort both to understand the past and to reflect on the position of young people during humanitarian crises.
"This book is based on the records of the Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. The Registry is a computer database that lists more than 170,000 names of Holocaust survivors and some members of their families. The American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors first established a national registry in 1981 to document the lives of survivors who came to the United States after World War II ... The Registry includes the names of Holocaust survivors who are now deceased, but does not indicate that they have passed away ... this published version only includes information about the survivors based on their individual files."--Introduction
Eva is net vijf jaar als de Tweede Wereldoorlog in 1939 uitbreekt. Ze is de dochter van een Arische moeder en een Joodse vader. Gelukkig kan Eva’s vader op tijd ontkomen naar Amerika, maar Eva en haar moeder blijven achter. Eva’s moeder besluit de gok te wagen en ze blijven gedurende de oorlogsjaren in Berlijn wonen: verborgen in het volle zicht. Als de oorlog voorbij is, emigreert Eva met haar moeder naar Amerika en wordt ze herenigd met haar vader. Eva doet haar best de oorlog en alle gruwelijkheden te vergeten, maar de herinneringen blijken te sterk. Jaren na dato vertelt ze eindelijk het verhaal van haar ongewone jeugd in het door oorlog verscheurde Berlijn.
