Remember Me: Displaced Children of the Holocaust is a poignant collection of more than 1000 sepia images of children left orphaned and displaced by the Holocaust. The United States Holocaust Museum has digitized these photos in an effort to track down what became of these children.The intent of the project is "to identify these children, piece together information about their wartime and postwar experiences, and facilitate renewed connections among these young survivors, their families, and other individuals who were involved in their care during and after the war."
To research more about World War II era refugees check out our microfilmed collection, Papers of the War Refugee Board (59 reels covering 1944-1945).
