Child Survivors in the Shadows

Lilo was a child during the Holocaust. Now that the older generation of Holocaust survivors, such as her parents, are just about gone, she and others like her are the last survivors of the Holocaust the final witnesses to the horrors that Hitler perpetrated on the Jewish people. After Lilo attended a workshop given by Hana Greenfield, noted author, lecturer, and Holocaust child survivor, where she spoke about the importance of child survivors sharing their experiences of the Holocaust, Lilo began to compiling her history and experiences. She started speaking to schools and groups, and received more and more requests to share her experiences. One by one the people with whom she spoke came to realize that even though what happened to Lilo s family under Hitler may pale in comparison to what happened to others, the effect dominated her entire life and that of her family.
