My Hundred Children by Lena Küchler-Silberman, 1963. Paperback detail.
“Trying to find reason to go on living after her family died in the Holocaust, Küchler-Silberman directed a postwar orphanage for 100 of the few Jewish children who remained alive in Poland. Her aim was to provide physical and emotional wholeness for those children who had lived in closets or forests and for the many who had seen their parents killed.”
