Now that I've finished the book, it turns out that they didn't exactly "raise them as their own." That was their intention, but when the massacre began being investigated, about two months after it happened, the children were all rounded up and sent to live with distant relatives.

The children did, indeed, have memories years later. Some were pretty grisly.

The book was really fascinating and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the subject.
