Abstract

The Child Survivors of the Jewish Holocaust Collection consists of oral history interviews conducted by Sarah Traister Moskovitz as part of her research on the experience of childhood during the Holocaust.

Interviewees speak about their childhoods in Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. Concentration camp survivors speak about their experiences in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen, Ravensbruck, Salzwedel, Terezin (Theresienstadt), Transnistria camps, and Westerbork.
