The Lost Children After the Holocaust

The children who walked through the doors of the medieval monastery in Germany had endured all manner of Nazi terror. One Jewish boy from Poland had survived more than a dozen labor or concentration camps. Underweight infants arrived without names or dates of birth. During this program, learn about the relief workers and nuns at Kloster Indersdorf who cared for the children. Often there were no family members left who might claim them after World War II.
