Abstract

The educational and rehabilitative work that three young women, Holocaust Survivors, carried out with uprooted child Holocaust survivors in postwar children’s homes forms the subject of the
following article.
It establishes how they perceived the children and interacted with them, tracing their concerns, deliberations, and professional choices, and elucidates the practices and strategies they formulated.
