HIDDEN CHILDREN : Taking the risk of survival

by: Tyena Rene

Dead or alive? The children were usually taken into camps or work in factories. Some went into hiding to prevent from seeing their parents being taken away or to hide somewhere safe so no one could ever find that child.

Hitler made an army to "swipe" out the Jews : men, women, and children. 94 percent of those Jews were mostly children and they didn't survive the crucial nightmare. Although, there were thousands of children who had survived when in hiding.

The effect was, their relatives had to sent them to foster parents ,so no one could ever found out who they were and where did they come from. If questions are asked, the parents had to make explanations of what "new faces" were discovered when the child are at their new safe, secured home.

But if not careful, it could lead to danger of his/her one mistake of either language or behavior. To hide their true self, even boys had to dress like girls to disguise themselves to not able to get caught.

If the children's parents/relatives died or went into the death camps, the child is sending into a different place, where they were going to have a different religion and being protected by the people who are taking care of them.

They were many types of religion they were sent to : Catholic or Christian. To be able to get use to the new religious ways, they had to be taught quickly to be able to master how to pray in the rituals.

When children were being saved by rescuers, mostly 80 percent of children were treated well and others : 15 percent mistreated and five percent were treated horribly.

Some were even abuse by the so call, "Protectors." If in camps, they were : being shooting by army, teens worked to death, directly to gas chambers, disease, or even medical experiments.

Families who were Jews, were trying to get false papers to hide their identities and go into a new country. But, the problem was that they had to be passed as Aryans to go into the new land for freedom. Yvonne Kray Sokolow was one of those people that experienced this event.

As you know, there were many children that were killed or alive. There are many names to the list who have survived then and now : Gitta Rosenweing, Regine Donne, Edith Knoll, Frank Siegel, Edith Schwab, Jack, Evelyn, Rachelle, and Rosetta Goldstein, Fran Greene, Roald Hoffman, Benno Horowitz, Kitty Saks, Charly Weingarten, and a lot more.

There were even teenagers that were hidden : Anne Frank, Henriette Parker, Bernard Rotmil, Hanne Evatlirsch Liebmann, Henry Werheimer, and Yvonne Kray Sokolow. Some are to tell their stories.

For example, Alice Sondike : she was just a young girl, when both of her parents were taken into the camps and was adopted by a German couple who wanted her. But, her mother wanted to find her own daughter back and it lead the couple to hide the innocent girl so the

mother won't find her. Then, they didn't want the girl anymore, so they actually "threw her out the door."

When the Jewish families are being taken to work in the factory, they would hide their loved ones in : barns, chicken coops, forest huts, closets, or upper floors. Some would hide them in the children's schools, orphanages, or convent clinics. When they were being discovered, the loved ones were turned in and 2,000 were how much of children were caught.
