"Mikhal Dekel's book, Tehran Children, tells the story of her father, Hannan, and his sister, who were part of a group of Polish refugee children who made their way from Poland to Iran during World War II. They eventually arrived in Palestine and were welcomed by the Jewish community. Dekel, a professor of English, embarked on a personal journey to uncover her family's history and the experiences of the Tehran Children. Through her research, she discovered their resilience and the challenges they faced on their journey to safety. While addressing the complexities of identity and belonging, Dekel provides a unique perspective on Holocaust history and the power of family bonds."
