When the Germans invaded Belgium, a group of 100 German Jewish children who had found refuge there, fled and found their way to France. There they were hidden in an abandoned Chateau de la Hille. Elsa and Alexander Frank, who were the caretakers of the children's home, arranged for them to be cared for. Hidden away in the mountain abandoned lodging, the children survived the war. The children colored pictures that showed their hideaway. In the drawings, they sketched German bombers flying overhead on their way to bombing cities on the West coast. – Dr. Mal Couch
