A beautifully depicted fiction based on the events of the kindertransport effort. Tante Truus (real life Geertruida Wijsmuller) a woman in the Dutch resistance aided in the effort to move 10,000 children out of Nazi occupied Germany to the other countries that would take them.

This book was so intense. To see how children were treated by grown men was infuriating. We KNOW this happened but every time I read about it it makes my heart hurt. The journey these children took was so insane. Their parents risked everything to save their children. Many children never saw their families again. If they survived the train trip they could die from illness.

The amount of people who risked their own lives to save these children is beautiful. That during this dark time in History there was still hope and kindness.
