‘Michelle comprend le malheur’: Reading writings by children displaced in the Nazi era

Stone, Lucy orcid logoORCID: 0000-0001-5976-5495 (2023) ‘Michelle comprend le malheur’: Reading writings by children displaced in the Nazi era. In: Innocence and Experience : Childhood and the Refugees from Nazism in Britain. Peter Lang Ltd, Oxford, pp. 51-67. ISBN 9781800799493

Abstract
This chapter is an important intervention for the study of Nazi-era childhood exile. While there is existing scholarship on this subject, it tends to focus on the adult and/or retrospective view rather than children’s responses at the time. Taking Judith Kerr’s texts from and about childhood exile as a case study, this chapter establishes how and what can be learned about this phenomenon from contemporary children’s writings.
