Survivors of the Holocaust

In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, the liberating armies moved across Europe. The horrific truth of the Holocaust was revealed to the Hidden Children as they crawled out of hiding. These children joined millions of displaced people, starving and penniless, trying to find their way home. They talk of the horror at discovering their families had not survived while a few had the overwhelming joy of meeting a parent or relative.
Even after the war Jews remained a target for revenge killings. Those who had risked their lives hiding Jews were now terrorised by beatings and often murder. The hidden children talk about what happened to those who saved them.
