What happened to the children of the holocaust after the war?

Answer 1

Teenagers were sometimes selected for manual work at Auschwitz, but younger children often were not. Children born in the camps were generally killed on the spot, especially if the child was Jewish.

Children were especially vulnerable in the era of the Holocaust. The Nazis advocated killing children of "unwanted" or "dangerous" groups in accordance with their ideological views, either as part of the "racial struggle" or as a measure of preventive security. The Germans and their collaborators killed children both for these ideological reasons and in retaliation for real or alleged partisan attacks.
