Book excerpt: A biography of Tiefenbrunner, born in 1914 in Wiesbaden. Pp. 31-81 deal with the Holocaust period. In 1938 Tiefenbrunner immigrated to Belgium, where he opened a home for German Jewish refugee children in Brussels. He married in 1940. In 1942 the Tiefenbrunner Home became one of the seven orphanages which operated under the auspices of the Association des Juifs en Belgique (AJB), and the only one which was religiously Orthodox. Between 1942-44 hundreds of children passed through the home, which had a capacity for ca. 40 children at any one time. Notes that feeding the children was a constant problem. After the liberation in September 1944, Tiefenbrunner continued to run the home as an orphanage for child survivors; it closed in 1960 and Tiefenbrunner died in 1962. His parents and five of his siblings perished in the Holocaust; he and two siblings survived. The book is based on interviews with family members and survivors who spent time in the home as children, relating their stories as well. Pp. 155-171 contain an account of his wartime experiences by Aron Peterfreund.
