问题     The exhibit "Life in Shadows-. Hidden Children and the Holocaust" used to be on display in the early 2000s at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D. C. Now a transcript and photos of some of the exhibit’ s displays can be found on the museum’ s website as an online exhibition. The exhibition reveals the stories of Jewish children who escaped the Holocaust. The Holocaust refers to the killing of 6 million Jews and others whom the Nazis (纳粹)thought to be inferior. The Nazis killed about 1.5 million Jewish children. Thousands of Jewish children, however, survived by concealing their identities or hiding out in places like cellars and barns.
    For example, there is a photo of a sweater worn by 8-year-old Krystyna Chiger, who hid in the sewers (下水道)for more than a year. Visitors to the site can also view a photo of a light-blue dress worn by Sabina Kagan when she hid from the Nazi death squads (行刑队). Also in the exhibition is a photo of tiny " toy soldiers" Jurek Orlowski and his brother fashioned out of wood. The brothers played with the soldiers in a dirty basement because they were afraid to go outside.
    Leon Chameides, ofWest Hartford, Connecticut, told his story of survival through several photos and an oral account he donated to the museum.
    When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in 1941,Leon’ s father asked a priest to take care of Leon. The priest sent him to a church, where Leon had to pretend to be a Christian. He changed his name and learned a new language. " I had to pretend I was someone else," Leon said in the video. "That was an enormous burden to place on a 7-year-old." [br] The children mentioned in this passage were______.
