This important book includes real-life accounts from some of the almost 10,000 children rescued over 70 years ago through the Kindertransport - trains that brought them from their homes and family at the beginning of WWII, to safety in Britain. This book tells the story of the Kindertransport, and how ten thousand children were saved by brave people who took action in desperate times. The book is a compilation of survivors memories, illustrated with archival photos.
