Hidden Child 00:56 PBS
Of the 1.6 million Jewish children who lived in Europe before WWII, only 100,000 survived the Holocaust. Most were hidden, shuttered away in attics, cellars, convents or in villages and farms. This program chronicles the wartime experiences of Maud Dahme, one of an estimated 5,000 Jewish children hidden from the Nazis by righteous gentiles in the Netherlands. Unlike Anne Frank, Dahme was separated from her parents, and she and her younger sister were raised Christian and grew up in Dutch farm country. Holland, viewed as a safe haven for Jews, proved not to be. At the start of the WWII, there were 140,000 Jews in the Netherlands. At the end of the war, nearly 75% of the Dutch Jewish population had been exterminated, a higher percentage than in any other Western European country. Dahme, forced to take on assumed names to conceal her Jewish identity, talks about having to lie in order to survive, of dodging bullets and of the compassion of strangers who risked their own lives to save hers.
