April 18th is Yom Hasho?a (Yoam Ha-SHO-wa), Holocaust Remembrance Day. This piece focuses on the Hidden Children of the Holocaust. More than one million Jewish children were killed in the genocide, but some were saved either by
being physically hidden or by hiding their Jewish identity.
14-year-old Jacob Rosen won a first place award in the City of Akron
Holocaust Arts and Writing Contest for documenting the stories of
hidden children. Dr. Herbert Hochhauser, former Director of the Ohio
Council on Holocaust Education, was a hidden child. So was Lici
Calderon, now retired from the University of Akron.
WKSU's Vivian Goodman heard their stories.

Review of Hidden Children of the Holocaust
One of my favorite things about these interviews is the way the interviewer occasionally swings the mic over to a fourteen year old to have him comment and react to the tragic stories he's hearing. There’s a concern about bringing it all back to the present day, to make it feel less remote to younger generations. I guess it’s an odd but real concern. The fourteen year-old’s responses are not always that illuminating or unusual—and you get the feeling that the gulf between the childhoods of the story-tellers and the childhoods of the story-listeners is great-- but there’s something that feels right about placing them alongside one another in the same forum. I would have liked the juxtapositioning of the young and the old to have been more sustained but all the same, the stories from the survivors are very tragic and moving and need to be heard. This could run on appropriate anniversaries, memorial days, or around Holocaust Remembrance Day.
