Œuvre de secours aux enfants
Œuvre de secours aux enfants, abbreviated OSE, is a French Jewish humanitarian organization which was founded in Russia in 1912 to help Russian Jewish children. Later it moved to France.
Jewish youth liberated at Buchenwald lean out the windows of a train, as it pulls away from the station. The train, which has been marked with the phrase "Hitler kaput" ("Hitler is finished" in several European languages), will transport the children to an OSE home in Ecouis, France.
