Publisher's summary

Diane Samuels' play about families, secrets and survival takes us to the days of the impending Holocaust. As conditions deteriorated in Germany in the 1930s, many tried in vain to escape. But thanks to a British humanitarian effort, about 10,000 Jewish children from Germany and neighboring countries were relocated to live with families in the United Kingdom, while their parents stayed behind. This passage to freedom became known as Kindertransport.

The audio drama stars Jane Kaczmarek and Susan Sullivan, and includes a conversation with Kindertransport survivor Hilda Fogelson.

Powerful and Interesting

I really enjoyed the story of the small girl and her family.. The narrative got a little more confusing when it involved the more modern generation - just because with so many characters, more visual aids would have helped. Got lost sometimes in the era, but the actors perform it very well, it feels lively. It is unfortunately a sad story. But Truths are often unpleasant
