Cover of We Had to Be Brave: Escaping the Nazis on the KindertransportWe Had to Be Brave: Escaping the Nazis on the KindertransportDeborah HopkinsonThis account examines the Kindertransport, a World War II effort that moved Jewish children from occupied countries to safety in England. It sets the operation against events from 1925 through 1938, as Nazi antisemitic rule steadily stripped Jewish people of rights. Parents increasingly faced the choice of separation to protect their children. The book tracks three people in detail and introduces others more briefly through oral histories, memoirs, interviews, and family research. It also describes the children's lives after arrival; most never saw their parents again.Nine to TwelveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
