Abstract
Sophia Cohen Chatov, born in Amsterdam, Holland in 1936, discusses her upbringing in hiding beginning when she was 4 years old across parts of rural Holland with various non-Jewish families and individuals who took in Jewish chidlren. Over three years and twelve relocations, Sophia changed her name numerous times and grappled with her Jewish identity, loneliness and isolation in hiding, and adapting to the many different cultures who provided a safe haven for her and other Jewish children. She also discusses how her other family members spent their time in hiding apart from each other, and the family's reunion after the war.Description
