Machshava:
Following the war, Rav Oshry and others invested extraordinary efforts to track down Jewish children who had been entrusted by their parents with non-Jews in order to save them from the inferno that engulfed European Jewry. Many of the boys that they recovered had not undergone a Bris Milah, as their parents were afraid that it would indicate their Jewishness. One ten year old boy was adamant that he would not undergo a Bris unless he was given a general anesthetic that would prevent from experiencing pain during the Bris. Is it permissible to anaesthetize someone undergoing a Bris under such circumstances?
