The Children of Zion is a book written by Henryk Grynberg about “the fate of the Polish Jews”.[1][2][3]
Synopsis
The Children of Zion (January 1998) is considered as a documentary that was based on a collection of fragments of records compiled in Palestine in 1943 by the Eastern Center for Information, a Polish government group. The book was a source of the testimonies of Jewish children who were evacuated from the Soviet Union to Palestine. Grynberg arranged the “collection of interviews” to serve as a reminder about the Holocaust experience. The Polish children’s experiences during World War II also provided a recollection of their lives before the war. Memories of when the war broke out were also discussed, apart from the “arrival of the Germans and the Russians”, the children’s journeys and life while in exile, and their condition after the so-called Sikorsky Agreement allowed them to leave the work camps. Many of the children had to cope as orphaned émigrés. The original document that had become the basis for Grynberg’s Children of Zion is at the Hoover Institution of Standford University.[1][2][4]
Translations
Grynberg’s Children of Zion was translated into English by Jacqueline Mitchell, a United Nations interpreter.[1][2]
