Popis:	The Declaration of the Rights of the Child, adopted by the League of Nations in 1924, was greeted as a major step in the field of human rights. But the rise of fascism and the extinction of the League dashed all its good intentions. The outbreak of the Second World War had tragic consequences for European children, none more so than Jewish children who, along with their Gypsy counterparts, became victims of one of the greatest crimes against humanity ever during that war. By recording their experiences, childrens' perception is opened up so that we can see beyond the dry statistics to the human and emotional side of the story, which surely is relevant where any child has been, or is, at risk. Their ordeal during the Holocaust has become a yardstick against which all other human rights abuses against children have been measured.
