This book tells the story of three young children, now in their
eighties, whose childhood was shattered by the murderous
Nazi regime in Zbaraz, a small township in Poland, now
Ukraine. Though born into loving families, they lost their
childhood, their families and their homes, at a very young
age. They also lost trust in the world being a safe place and
the idea that people are basically good. Fear and aloneness
became part of their day-to-day life. To varying degrees, all
three were traumatized.
Why did this happen?
It happened because they were born into a particular
religious/ethnic group. They were Jewish.
The book also recounts the work of some outstanding
individuals and organisations that took on the challenge of
helping these children and their families, and indeed the
remnants of the Jewish people, to survive the killings and
rebuild their lives.
