...'' but the mortality rate for children was especially high. Only 6 to 11% of Europe’s prewar Jewish population of children survived as compared with 33% of the adults.''

'' perceived abandonment by their parents.''
It is unbelievable how inhumane and evil the children were treated. It's inconceivable that people could kill masses of children. They don't get a chance at a normal childhood. Even after the war, the kids were faced with trauma and they didn't even have families to go back to.

I found this part interesting because even after the war the kids couldn't live a happy life with their families because of the trauma.

I wonder how the children "blended in" or changed their physical characteristics to by seen as aryan?

Children were sent with Christian families hoping that they would pass as Aryan. Many never knew about their real identities and some never got to be with their families again after the war.

Question.
- Why did some of the children never learn about their real identities?
"many children were never told of their previous lives and prior identities"

# data[].attributes.body
"children were never told of their previous lives and prior identities" Did the adoptive families just feel as if it didn't matter? Why were the children never told about their histories?

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that some children At the end of the war weren't told there previous life or identities. This made it hard for them to reunite with adult members from their birth family.

I think that I have heard of the Holocaust before, but not in detail. All of this is a rather new topic for me.
