More than 60 years ago, in the brief period between "Pogromnacht" and the outbreak of World War II, thousands of Jewish parents were confronted with the dilemma, whether to send their children away, unprotected as they were, out of Austria to a foreign country, or to keep their children with them, knowing that they would not be able to protect them. In the end, ten thousand parents decided to separate from them, being fully aware that they might never see their children again. Today, innumerable parents from different countries make their children flee war, forced labor, hunger, and other threats. How did these children back in 1938-39 experience separation from their parents? And how do they see it 60 years later? How do they see the situation of the new refugee? How do the unattended refugee children live in today's Austria?
