hidden children
Secretly sheltered youth
Hidden children refers to Jewish children concealed from Nazi persecution during World War II, often placed with non-Jewish families, convents, or resistance networks.
These children lived under false identities, sometimes for years, many never reuniting with their birth families.
The term also applies more broadly to any children hidden to protect them from genocide or political violence.
