Exhibition

This exhibition is based on the book French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial, by Serge Klarsfeld, and incorporates photographs and documents never before shown in the United States. Between 1942 and 1944, 11,400 Jewish children were deported from France to death camps; only about 300 survived.

Serge Klarsfeld, a historian and lawyer, has devoted the last 20 years to collecting information on these young victims. Several hundred photographs, from among the 2,500 in his book, constitute the core of the exhibition. Enhancing the photos are official records pertaining to the fate of the children, as well as excepts from their letters.
