Work Does Not Set You Free: The forced Labor of Jewish Children under Nazi regime In the Ghettos During the Holocaust

“Arbeit Macht Frei" (Work Sets You Free). These were the words displayed on the gates of the Nazi concentration camps, as part of the elaborate system of deceptive propaganda aimed at the Jews. In fact, work was far from freeing – it merely postponed death. The Germans viewed the Jews as unproductive parasites in their midst, and with their rise to power, they declared certain sectors of the Jewish people as worthless and thus anyone over the age of 55 or under the age of 12; sick people and invalids; homosexuals; communists. Many efforts were made to save those Jewish children who were younger than twelve, and their parents went to extreme measures to keep them safe – disguising them to appear older, using personal connections to smuggle them to safety, faking their ages and offering goods – anything to allow them to survive. Much has been told about the working adult Jewish population, but little has been revealed of the forced labor imposed on children. One of the most prominent examples is Lodz Ghetto, which held about 100 workshops where at its peak, an estimated 100,000 Jews worked under forced labor, including 13,000 children. “Work Does Not Set You Free” tells the story of twenty-five young heroes who were forced to work in the ghettos’ workshops, manufacturing products for the German military, and the German civilian market during World War II, and survived the inferno to recount the stories of many others who did not make it out alive
