After a struggle mounted by the relatives against the French authorities, the Church finally gave up its demands, and the children were turned over to their Jewish relatives. In the cokllection: Correspondence, reports, protocols, leaflets, books, research, press clippings and more gathered by Moise Keller who advocated for the brothers and their relatives against the French authorities.
