World War II also brought Jewish unaccompanied minors: Dont be quick to judge. Lets no forget history... Prior to the United States entry into World War II, the children were brought in small groups (roughly a dozen at a time) based on pre-existing country quotas. After 1941, when Americans were becoming more aware of the brutality of the Nazi regime, refugee children could be brought in larger numbers. A small group of dedicated women acted as chaperones on the ships that brought the children to America. Upon reaching the United States, the children went to Jewish foster homes. Although some of the children were reunited in America with the parents and siblings they left behind in Europe, most of the refugees became the only surviving members of their families.
