Laura Hobson Faure, *Who Will Rescue Us? The Story of the Jewish Children Who Fled to France and America During the Holocaust*. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2025.

Send us Fan Mail As the Second World War loomed, it is estimated that 1.6 million Jewish children resided in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of these children managed to escape to Britain through the Kindertransport, only around 500 found sanctuary in France. There, they endeavored to reconstruct their lives—but their refuge would soon become a trap. For the first time, this book unveils the experiences of these children, along with the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations that provided assistance. Utilizing survivor testimonies, children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, this monograph reconstructs their complex journeys, including how some ultimately reached safety in America. Hobson Faure offers a poignant depiction of these children and their escapes, emphasizing their agency in the fight against Nazism—and interweaving the network of numerous supporters who aided them throughout their ordeal.
