A study based on interviews conducted with 50 persons, mostly mothers, who together had 78 children before World War II, and who placed their children in hiding during the war. After the war this group had another 46 children. Pt. 1 (pp. 15-37) describes the study (including the questionnaire on which the interviews were based) and general characteristics of the respondents' lives before and during the war - e.g. religious affiliation, Zionist leanings, professions, where they were during the war, and the psychological aspects of their persecution. Pt. 2 (pp. 39-174) contains the texts of eleven of the interviews, including reports of the children about their time in hiding. Pt. 3 (pp. 175-200) deals with the repercussions of their experiences on the parents and children in the postwar period. In most cases, it was many years before they could talk about what happened in the war years. Most children felt that their parents had purposely left them in a very difficult situation. Some parents never forgave themselves when the child did not survive. Notes that it is surprising to find that despite what they went through, most of them succeeded in living good and significant lives.
