The Emotional Consequences of the Escapée Experience
"Relatively little is known about Polish Jews who were able to escape to Russian-occupied Poland. I will focus on the only Kindertransport ever formed in Russia, which took eight months and led the children over mine and submarine infested waters to Persia, India, and Egypt and finally to Palestine."
