The story of how young volunteers from the Swiss Red Cross--Aid to Children (Croix Rouge Suisse--Secours aux Enfants) took over an abandoned Ch teau and gave a refuge to the children during the German occupation of France.
A few of the survivors have written their story as adults, as have some of the adults who protected the children. However the most detailed account of the children's time at the Ch teau de La Hille, by their school teacher Sebastian Steiger, The Children of Ch teau de La Hille, has not been available in English until now.
