“The Last Train To London” by Meg Waite Clayton

I revel in the opportunity to learn about little-known heroes and heroines of the past. This book highlights the true but under-the-radar tale of the Kindertransport and the woman who made it possible. Truus Wijsmuller was a childless Dutch woman who smuggled hundreds of Jewish children out of Nazi-occupied lands. Many countries in Europe closed their borders to the escapees. It was a perilous time. Although written as a novel, the story tries to stay as close to the actual events as possible. The description of this book as a “powerful” read is an understatement. One wishes more details were known about the courage and determination of this remarkable woman.

My kind of story. Will read it soon. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sounds intriguing and fascinating, Julianne...great recommendation.

Sounds like a great read!

Julianne...thank for the tip. A thoroughly heartwarming and at the same time heartbreaking story about the WWII Kindertransport to save Europe’s children from the horrible Nazi scourge.
