EN SAVOIR PLUS Résumé

"The Shelter and the Fence is a well-written, well-researched story of Holocaust rescues. . . . makes it clear that despite the saving of almost 1,000 refugees the United States did much too little to save victims of Nazi terror." --David A. Adler, author of The Number on My Grandfather's Arm

The story of Holocaust refugees who found shelter in the United States--with unique parallels to today's stories of asylum seekers.

In 1944, at the height of World War II, 982 European refugees found a temporary haven at Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York. They were men, women, and children who had spent frightening years one step ahead of Nazi pursuers and death.

They spoke nineteen different languages, and, while most of the refugees were Jewish, a number were Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. From the time they arrived at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter on August 5 they began re-creating their lives and embarked on the road to becoming American citizens.

In the history of World War II and the Holocaust, this "token" save by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the War Refugee Board was too little and too late for millions. But for those few who reached Oswego it was life changing.

The Shelter and the Fence tells their stories.
