Summary In July 1942 the French authorities willingly collaborated with the Germans to round up Jews to be sent to concentration camps. It was a betrayal on a huge scale. Yet many ordinary French people risked their own lives to save thousands of Jewish children. Told in their own words, these are the hair-raising stories of four young Jewish children secretly hidden from the Nazis. Today, they look like anyone's grandparents. Their stories are of narrow escapes, incredible adventures, and great heroism. Also of painful loss, and guilt. As these survivors return to the places in the French countryside where they were hidden 60 years ago, powerful emotions are released; what happened cost them their parents and their childhoods, - and shaped the rest of their lives.
