La Maternitat d'Elna uncovers one of the most dramatic, tender, and unknown chapters of our post-war period. Between 1939 and 1944, the Swiss Elisabeth Eidenbenz saved the lives of 597 infants. They were the children of Catalan and Spanish exiles living in dire conditions in the refugee camps of Saint-Cyprien, Argelès, and Rivesaltes, who were fortunate enough to be welcomed into the maternity home created by Eidenbenz. This definitive, revised edition celebrates the success of a work that has become a contemporary classic, continuing to move new readers every day.
