More about the book

A poignant exploration of a family's hidden history, this memoir unravels the stories of Jewish children who fled the Holocaust. In 1938, desperate families placed ads in the Manchester Guardian, hoping to secure safety for their children. Julian Borger discovers one such ad that saved his father, Robert, who kept his traumatic past a secret until his death. The narrative weaves through various locations and experiences, revealing the resilience and survival of these children amid war, trauma, and the kindness of strangers across generations.
