The Women of Anna Freud's War Nurseries: Their Life and Work

Author(s) : Christiane Ludwig-Koerner

Reviews and Endorsements

This book presents the long-forgotten work of young women who themselves had escaped the Holocaust and, under the direction of Anna Freud, offered a home to evacuated children and war orphans after World War II - and also found a new home themselves. Written with heart and soul, it is based on numerous interviews, conducted over a period of 20 years, and is an incomparable document that shows how new attachments were formed and enriched the lives of these children and their carers over decades.
