World Federation Of Jewish Child Survivors Of The Holocaust And Descendants Joining hands and hearts to keep Holocaust memory alive, fighting hatred and genocide We are the Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust persecuted by the Nazis in ghettos, in camps, in hiding, on the run or forced to leave Nazi occupied Europe. Our objectives are to represent the interests of the child survivor community, to support each other, to keep alive the memory of the six million Jews – including the 1.5 million children – murdered during the Holocaust and to pass on our legacy to future generations. We pursue these objectives by telling the stories of our survival, by community interaction, education, holding conferences and by fighting anti-Semitism European Association of Jewish Survivors of the Holocaust Friends and Alumni of OSE-USA, MD Hidden Child Foundation/ADL, NY KTA – Kindertransport Association, NY Aloumim, Israel Association of Children of the Holocaust in Poland Assn. of Child Survivors in Croatia Assn. of Jewish War Children – Amsterdam Assn. of Unknown Children, Netherlands Assn.
