Summary/Abstract: The problem of minor victims of the Holocaust is a less addressed issue in the Romanian historiography of the Holocaust, although about 22% of deportations from Transnistria. These orphans up to 15 years old were placed in various Jewish communities in Moldova, in the care of wealthier families. Most orphans who returned from Transnistria later emigrated to Israel with the help of ships carrying Jewish emigrants during 1944. The Children's Holocaust is a chapter of the Holocaust that is still insufficiently researched and needs to be addressed, especially since the subject was and is a taboo.
