| Summary: | Tara Zahra's eloquent and meticulously researched book The Lost Children: Reconstructing Europe's Families after World War II intersects numerous significant strands of historical inquiry. It is simultaneously a study of postwar European reconstruction, the Holocaust, and modern humanitarian efforts, synthesized through the lens of children and families devastated by war. Broad in scope yet richly textured, The Lost Children is an original and welcome addition to a small but growing body of work on childhood during and after World War II., The author lays the foundation for her study by tracing the development of international relief on behalf of children after World War I. |
