The youngest survivors ; These 'children' of the Holocaust beat the odds
2004
Overview
On Thursday night, [Siegmar Silber] and other Holocaust survivors shared their stories of childhood in hiding and in sanctuary with an audience of 200 at William Paterson University's David and Lorraine Cheng Library. Through Kindertransport, Jewish groups evacuated children from Germany, Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia in the lead up to World War II. As persecution increased, many Jews had no place to go as other countries barred them, fearing a massive influx of refugees. On Nov. 9, 1938, violence escalated as Nazi-organized mobs beat and arrested Jews, and destroyed their synagogues and businesses. The date became known as Kristallnacht, or Night of the Broken Glass. 1 - COLOR PHOTO - TARIQ ZEHAWI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER - [Ed Lessing], who fled the Nazis as a teenager and posed as a Christian in Holland, holding a photo of his mother in her prison camp uniform.; 2 - PHOTO - TARIQ ZEHAWI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER - When he was 3 years old, Siegmar Silber was separated from his parents during the Holocaust and evacuated to England, believing the family would be reunited after the war.
