| Zusammenfassung: | Based on the acclaimed HBO documentary, the astonishing true story of how one American couple transported fifty Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Austria to America in 1939... the single largest group of unaccompanied refugee children allowed into the United States. In early 1939, America's rigid immigration laws made it virtually impossible for European Jews to seek safe haven in the United States. As deep-seated anti-Semitism and isolationism gripped much of the country, neither President Roosevelt nor Congress rallied to their aid. Yet one brave Jewish couple from Philadelphia refused to silently stand by. Risking their own safety, Gilbert Kraus, a successful lawyer, and his stylish wife, Eleanor, traveled to Nazi-controlled Vienna and Berlin to save fifty Jewish children. Steven Pressman brought the Kraus's rescue mission to life in his acclaimed HBO documentary, 50 Children. In this book, he expands upon the story related in the hour-long film, offering additional historical detail and context to offer a rich, full portrait of this ordinary couple and their extraordinary actions. Drawing from Eleanor Kraus's unpublished memoir, rare historical documents, and interviews with more than a dozen of the surviving children, and illustrated with period photographs, archival materials, and memorabilia, 50 Children is a remarkable tale of personal courage and triumphant heroism that offers a fresh, unique insight into a critical period of history |

With an afterword by Paul Shapiro, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Fifty children 1. ed. New York Harper 2014 XIV, 296 S. Ill. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-280) and index Based on the acclaimed HBO documentary, the astonishing true story of how one American couple transported fifty Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Austria to America in 1939... the single largest group of unaccompanied refugee children allowed into the United States. In early 1939, America's rigid immigration laws made it virtually impossible for European Jews to seek safe haven in the United States. As deep-seated anti-Semitism and isolationism gripped much of the country, neither President Roosevelt nor Congress rallied to their aid. Yet one brave Jewish couple from Philadelphia refused to silently stand by. Risking their own safety, Gilbert Kraus, a successful lawyer, and his stylish wife, Eleanor, traveled to Nazi-controlled Vienna and Berlin to save fifty Jewish children. Steven Pressman brought the Kraus's rescue mission to life in his acclaimed HBO documentary, 50 Children. In this book, he expands upon the story related in the hour-long film, offering additional historical detail and context to offer a rich, full portrait of this ordinary couple and their extraordinary actions. Drawing from Eleanor Kraus's unpublished memoir, rare historical documents, and interviews with more than a dozen of the surviving children, and illustrated with period photographs, archival materials, and memorabilia, 50 Children is a remarkable tale of personal courage and triumphant heroism that offers a fresh, unique insight into a critical period of history Kraus, Eleanor / -1989 fast Kraus, Gilbert / -1975 fast Kraus, Gilbert, -1975 Kraus, Eleanor, -1989 Kraus, Eleanor Kraus, Gilbert Kraus, Gilbert (DE-588)1072230488 gnd rswk-swf Kraus, Eleanor (DE-588)1072230429 gnd rswk-swf Jews rescue (1939-1945 : World War) fast World War (1939-1945) fast Jews rescue (1939-1945 : World War) fast (OCoLC)fst01710189 World War (1939-1945) fast (OCoLC)fst01180924 1939 - 1945 fast Children fast Children / Nazi persecution fast Jewish children fast Jewish refugees fast Refugee children fast Juden Kind Weltkrieg (1939-1945) World War, 1939-1945 Children Austria World War, 1939-1945 Jews Rescue Austria Children Nazi persecution Jewish children Austria Refugee children United States Jewish refugees United States Children Jewish children Jewish refugees Refugee children Austria fast United States fast USA Österreich Austria United States Kraus, Eleanor (DE-588)1072230429 p Kraus, Gilbert (DE-588)1072230488 p b DE-604 LoC Fremddatenuebernahme application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=027723146&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
