Description
"One of the thousands of Jewish children murdered at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators, Georg Halpern (1935-1944) was torn from his parents in 1943 and spent his final year at the French children's home in Izieu, France. While at Izieu, Georgy regularly wrote letters and sent drawings to his parents, describing his life at the children's home, his dreams, and his sorrow. Today, this remarkable collection - permanently exhibited at the Imperial War Museum in London - remains a testament to the courage and hope of a young boy caught in the midst of one of the darkest chapters in the history of mankind. Georgy's hopes for being reunited with his family ended with his murder at the age of eight in the gas chamber at Auschwitz.". "In association with the Beate Klarsfeld Foundation, Aperture proudly presents this record of Georg Halpern's brief life in an unforgettable collection of letters, drawings, and family photographs that speaks to the innocence and tragedy of all the victims of persecution and war."--BOOK JACKET.
