A Disturbed Child in a Warsaw Orphanage 1948

from History and Hearsay · host Christina

However, that’s not the case. And if it’s possible, the reality of this photograph, is even worse. TIMELINE:0:00 - Intro 0:31 - The Photo & David Seymour2:16- Who was Tereska?4:00 - The Ghettos6:34 - What happened to Tereska?7:49 - Children during WWII 9:53 - Tereska later in life10:31 - Diving Deeper into the stories SOURCES:https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/girl-concentration-camp-disturbed-children-1948/https://www.magnumphotos.com/newsroom/society/david-seymour-children-of-europe/https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/life-in-shadows-hidden-children-and-the-holocaust https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn60517https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn60519 https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn59520 Support the show
