Home No Child's Play
Claudine Schwartz-Rudel was seven years old when she fled from Paris to Southern France with her parents. Before they left Paris, Claudine's parents gave her a doll named Colette Opening Tens of thousands of Jews sought shelter in lofts, cellars, bunkers, sewers, and similar places. Many equipped themselves with forged papers, while children were often concealed with Christian families. The survival ratio was low: most fugitives were discovered and murdered. The number of Jews who survived by going underground is estimated in the thousands.

This album was put together by the students of a day school in Lodz, Poland, in 1934  -  five years before the war broke out. The album was presented to the principal by his students. It describes their project and play, expressing their view of how the world would be in the future. The drawing above shows all the capitols of the world connected and united in a wish for “universal peace”.
