Of the 1,600,000 Jewish children who lived in Europe before World War II, only 100,000 survived the Holocaust. Most were hidden children shuttered away in attics, cellars, convents or in villages or farms. Maud Dahme, former president of the New Jersey Board of Education, was among those whowwere hidden and survived.

A gripping tale of survival, THE HIDDEN CHILD tells the story of a six-year-old girl and her sister, separated from their parents, dodging bullets, lying for survival, and relying on the compassion of strangers. Dahme was one of the estimated 3,000-8,000 Jewish children in the Netherlands saved from the Nazi death camps by courageous Christians. Today, Dahme devotes her life to the Holocaust and genocide education. THE HIDDEN CHILD explores issues such as tolerance, mutual respect, and understanding.
