Lots of information here even though it's geared toward a teen/younger audience. Great pictures, too, though I've yet to look through them all because I listened to the book on audio (I typically borrow the digital version from the library as well for highlights, otherwise I wouldn't have realized). The book primarily focuses on a few individuals who took part in the Kinderstransport. Naturally, there is also a brief history of the rise of Hitler and the antisemitism of the Nazis that led to the mass evacuation of Jewish children. It's so sad to think about, but as the book emphasizes, it's important to keep these atrocious stories alive for future generations in hopes to prevent a repeat.
