Book Review: Moshe’s Children - The Orphans of the Holocaust and the Birth of Israel

Research output: Working paperPreprint

Abstract

This is a review of a book that tells a moving true story about a children's house for orphans of the Holocaust established in Italy by a Jewish volunteer in the British army. The reviewer is the son of one of those children, and ties in his father's memories from the orphanage in the review of the book. Moshe's Children presents Zionism in a manner virtually unheard of today, as the only hope for the Holocaust survivors in a world that would not accept them, even after all the horrors they had gone through, and specifically the House in Selvino as the gate to a new life for the very few children that had managed to survive.
