Description
Librarian Note: War and Children was written by Anna Freud (sixth child of Sigmund Freud) and her longtime friend and associate Dorothy Burlingham, based on their experiences in some of WWII's War Nurseries. The following is a letter included in the book, and the closest thing to a synopsis I could find.
"The Foster Parents' Plan for War Children has been working with children since 1936 when Spain's children were subjected to bombardments. Later we worked in France caring for French, Polish, Dutch and Belgian children. When France fell we took up our work in England.
More than 20,000 cases of children have been studied by our staff members since our work began ; at no time have we had any work to compare with the book, War and Children By Anna Freud and Dorothy Burlingham.
Miss Freud and Mrs. Burlingham direct three wartime nurseries in England for the Foster Parents' Plan. The material for the book was gathered at the nurseries, which are maintained by voluntary contributions from America.
War and Children is an outstanding contribution in the field of psychology and is as valuable to those working with children on the home front as it is to those working with children in actual bombed areas.
It is a record of children in modern war told honestly and completely, by two of the world's outstanding child psychologists."
