| Summary: | As a sociologist, native Belgian, and Holocaust survivor, Suzanne Vromen is perhaps the perfect person to author a study of the Jewish children hidden by Belgian nuns during the Holocaust. Drawing on detailed interviews conducted with eight nuns, one priest, twenty-nine survivors who were hidden as children, and two lay individuals who escorted the children from their families to their hiding places, she both corroborates other findings about the child victims of the Holocaust and provides new understandings of their rescuers., In the book's introduction, the author tells her own story of Holocaust survival. It therefore seems appropriate to mention it at the beginning of this review as well. |
