The Kloster Indersdorf Children's Center was established in July 1945 by a UN team and maintained a population of 300 children from over twenty nationalities. These child survivors were traumatized, orphaned, and homeless - longing for food and attention. To tell this little-known story, the author has tracked down 50 of the former children. Her research includes the Greta Fischer papers (Principal Welfare Officer of the Center) held at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Enhanced by historical photos and film clips, Andlauer's presentation offers insight into the creation of a therapeutic milieu for displaced children in the American Zone of post-war Germany.
