About the Author
Lena Küchler-Silberman (1910-1987) was a Jewish teacher, educator and psychologist. She was born and grew up in Wieliczka, Poland. After completing her studies in the Hebrew gymnasium in Kraków she went on to study philosophy, psychology and pedagogy. During the Holocaust, she lived as a alias outside the Warsaw ghetto, being able to smuggle several children out of the ghetto. After the war, she travelled to the Jewish council in Krakow where she met young children who had lost their families. She took them in, giving them a home in a house she found in Zakopane. From there they made their way to Czechoslovakia, France, and finally, in 1949, Israel.
