Product Description

Product Description

For ten months before the Second World War, thousands of children were bundled on to trains and waved goodbye to their parents as they set off across Germany and Holland to the ferries that would take them to England. The book is based on extensive interviews with those who helped to organise the transports, the families who took the children in and above all the young refugees as they began new lives in a strange country. Many were faced with a continuous stream of foster parents and children's homes; many were evacuated and even deported - and almost all never saw their parents again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One small suitcase - A great read!!!!, 10 Jan 2004
By A Customer
One small suitcase is a great book telling the story through many childrens eyes about the Kindertransport. This was an organisation that helped children to escape from Nazi Germany and it brought them to a much safer England. Each chapter explains different parts of an evacuees new life e.g why they had to leave Germany,how they found England, what their foster families were like and what happened to them after the war. I would recommend this book for any child over 11. It does not only provide a good read but also educates the
reader about Engalnd and Germany in WW2.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Small Suitcase, 5 Jul 2006
One of my favourite war-time books! I really enjoyed it and it was absolutely brilliant. Front cover also really good, it describes and sets the scene.
