An exhibit on Jewish children who hid in World War II-era Berlin opened at the city’s Anne Frank Center. Featured are the stories of several survivors, including Reha Sokolow, whose parents hid her as an infant. The family managed to survive the war, sometimes hidden by sympathetic non-Jews, sometimes sleeping in telephone booths. In all, up to 7,000 Jewish adults and children managed to hide out in Berlin through early 1945.
