Program Description:Once We Were Home by Jennifer Rosner
Once We Were Home is based on the true stories of Jewish children whose parents had given them to Christians in order to save them from the Nazis. This historical novel provides insight into post-WWII long term consequences faced by the children and their families. For example some adoptive parents don't want to relinquish the children back to their biological parents. This heart-wrenching novel raises questions of identity, parenthood, belonging, and morality — as it confronts what it really means to find home.
