Reviews
"'This is a thoroughly engaging and moving history of events which until now have been treated only partially, superficially, or largely biographically. It is a comprehensive historical overview and analysis of a remarkable, early chapter in the history of the Holocaust.' - Lionel Steiman, Former Professor of History, University of Manitoba 'As a Jewish child being persecuted by the Nazi government in Germany in the 1930s, I was fortunate that my parents put me on a Kindertransport to Great Britain. Vera K. Fast has written a comprehensive and well researched book leading up to and chronicling this historical rescue mission. I highly recommend it as serious reading of another aspect of the history of the Holocaust.' - Margaret Heller Goldberger, Chair of the Speakers Bureau of the Kindertransport Association and Member of the Board of Governors of B'nai B'rith International"
