Interrupted Lives

In some ways, Adele, Barney, Eric, Ernie, Frank, Judy, Magda, Rodi, and Ruth had little in common. They were born in different European countries and came from different family backgrounds. But they were all Jewish children who survived the Holocaust each in a different way—from hiding with non-Jews to surviving the horrors of a concentration camp. They prove themselves remarkably resilient as, in their own words, they each share their childhood experiences and describe how they rebuilt their lives after the end of World War II. They also reflect on the principles that have guided them and on their hopes for the future.
