The Hidden Children

The Association des Enfants Cachés was an independent association (law of 1901) which brought together, more particularly, those Jewish people who, as children during the Second World War, were hidden to escape racial persecution.
It was created in 1992 to allow its members to express themselves, to testify and to transmit what they experienced during the Holocaust. She set up speaking groups that allowed hidden children to meet, express their past difficulties, and listen to others.
The association has created a memory library of complete testimonies from hidden children and rescuers.
She has published a quarterly newsletter, distributed worldwide, which has published many historical articles on individual or group rescue and search notices for rescuers or fellow travellers.
From 2002, and thanks to the operation «Paroles d'étoiles», the Association was regularly asked by the National Education to participate, starting from memory, in the formation of a responsible citizenship.
The association was dissolved at the end of 2008.
