Overview

For ten months before the Second World War, thousands of children were bundled on to trains and waved goodbye to their parents as they set off across Germany and Holland to the ferries that would take them to England.

About the Book

The book is based on extensive interviews with those who helped to organise the transports, the families who took the children in and above all the young refugees as they began new lives in a strange country.

Challenges Faced by Refugees

Many were faced with a continuous stream of foster parents and children’s homes; many were evacuated and even deported - and almost all never saw their parents again.
