“Europe after Hitler….”

June 12, 2026 by Blogfinger

Paul Goldfinger still from Netflix documentary with colorized still photos Children survivors were returned to their home countries.  Many were Jews.

 

 

This soldier was held in a POW camp for 5 years. He left for war when his daughter was 1, and in this photo he sees her as a six year old in 1945.    Paul Goldfinger still image from the colorized video.

 

In Paris, French women who had fraternized with Nazis had their hair shorn. Some had swastikas drawn on their foreheads. From the Netflix doc. Still photo by Blogfinger.

 

After WWII was over there were millions of children alone throughout Europe.    Children often survived without their parents, and those who were alone were taken under the wings of allied European nations and returned in huge numbers to their original countries, usually via restored train tracks.     Survivors were mostly  young women, elderly, and children.   Many survived because they had been shipped out to rural areas  with other children.

In some cases they were found by their parents after the war, but many were orphans.

Men died in the war or they survived in POW camps.  Emotional reunions occurred all over.
