Abstract:
- Klarsfeld Foundation publication of Jewish children deported from France (very many of which were not French nationals, but earlier refugees from elsewhere in Europe). The book includes alphabetical lists of children by convoy, indicating surname, forename, birthdate, birthplace, assembly center, convoy number, deportation date, and last address in France, followed by a photographic section featuring portraits and other information on many of the children. There are two indexes, a general name index to the deportation lists and an name index to the photograph section.
- This is a useful, and above all meaningful, resource for "Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah Pairing/Twinning", a now popular form of Holocaust Remembrance whereby children are linked during this ceremony marking the attainment of adulthood to a child who perished during the Holocaust.
