Abstract:
Alphabetical name register of Jewish children in the Children's Home at Wezembeek-Oppem [note proper spelling], on the eastern outskirts of Brussels, run by the Association of Jews in Belgium (AJB). Entries include name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, fates or locations of father and mother. This particular orphanage at Wezembeek was for Jewish children who had been orphaned because their parents had been deported to the death camps. From August 1944, the AJB decided to revolt and hid the children until the end of the Nazi occupation. When the school was again taken over by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge, the children hid in the basement of the orphanage until the U.S. Army liberated them.
