SHADOW STORIES “Life in Shadows: Hidden Children and the Holocaust” tells the story of thousands of young people who survived by hiding in attics and sewers, by seeking refuge in monasteries, or by passing as gentiles. The exhibit includes photographs, artifacts, and oral histories. Above, toddlers in an orphanage for survivors in Etterbeek, Belgium. Their parents were deported to Auschwitz. At right is a wardrobe that served as one of the hiding places for 5-year-old Frederik Steinkeller. His father, Jacob, had approached a Polish Catholic family in the summer of 1943. Smuggled into their workshop, Frederik survived the war by hiding in several spots in the apartment – though the Gestapo had offices in the same building. His father was deported to Auschwitz.
