Leaving behind their parents, families and everything familiar they fled to an unknown country and future in their desperate fight for survival. INTERRUPTED JOURNEYS reveals not only their remarkable wartime stories, but also describes how many of these young refugees made their place of safety their permanent homes after the war ended and have since added richly to the life of each country. Alan Gill has drawn on several years of painstaking research and many hours of interviews with the people who escaped Hitler's Reich and has brought their stories to a new generation in this moving book. Their extraordinary experiences vary greatly, but their stories have a common thread of courage in adversity and remarkable resilience. Alongside their stories, Gill also reveals the enormous courage and sacrifice of the children's parents in sending them away to an uncertain future, as well as some of the daring and inspiring acts of those who helped the young refugees escape Nazism and build a new life in their chosen countries. *** Quantity Available: 1.
