Ben Carniol is only five years old in 1942 when his parents send him away to live with a non-Jewish couple in the village of Baudour, Belgium. Hide and Seek: In Pursuit of Justice describes a childhood filled with the loss and violence of war and Ben’s response to it: a deep lifelong commitment to creating a safe and just society for all.

Ben Carniol has worked on issues of social justice, social change, and social services for over forty years. He is Professor Emeritus, School of Social Work, Ryerson University, Toronto, where he co-ordinates the delivery of social work education to off-campus Aboriginal students, in partnership with the First Nations Technical Institute. The Canadian Association of Schools of Social Work has awarded him an honorary life membership for distinguished contributions to social work education in Canada.
