The existence, courage and sacrifices of OTC children and the organizations and individuals who rescued and aided them is not widely known by the general public as well as by some scholars; 2. Much can be learned from the problems faced and successfully overcome by OTC children during the re-settlement period as well as during their lives; 3. It is time to celebrate and honor the lives and accomplishments of these American citizens and their rescuers; and, 4. The lessons learned about the rescue of children threatened by wars of genocide are unfortunately still relevant today. The first step to achieving our objectives is to locate and communicate with OTC children.
