An assessment of the critical response to Anais Nin over the past 60 years.

Sent across the ocean by their parents and taken in by foster parents and distant relatives, approximately 1,000 children, ranging in age from fourteen months to sixteen years, landed in the United States and out of Hitler's reach between 1934 and 1945. Judith Tydor Baumel, Holocaust scholar and sister of two rescued children, provides an introduction explaining why, when, how, and where the rescues were carried out, who the heroes and heroines were, and which individuals and organizations placed almost insurmountable obstacles in their path.

Though she published several novels, short fiction and erotica, Anais Nin is best known for her captivating diary, which commanded more attention in unpublished form than her published fiction. The selections in this volume trace the critical response to Nin's works from the 1930s to the present.
