They were men, women, and children who had spent frightening years one step ahead of Nazi pursuers and death. They spoke nineteen different languages, and, while most of the refugees were Jewish, a number were Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. From the time they arrived at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter on August 5 they began re-creating their lives and embarked on the road to becoming American citizens. In the history of World War II and the Holocaust, this "token" save by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the War Refugee Board was too little and too late for millions. But for those few who reached Oswego it was life changing. The Shelter and the Fence tells their stories. -- Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Jewish refugees $z Oswego $z Oswego $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Jews $z Oswego $z Oswego $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a United States $x Emigration and immigration $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Oswego (N.Y.) $x Ethnic relations $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 9 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015732.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041918.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025812.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221220010346.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013201.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215022059.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20211202015112.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211102011203.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210626010039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3A6E706D64311EB91745AA74CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
