"In 1938 and 1939, via a movement known as the Kindertransport, thousands of Jewish children were taken from Nazi-occupied territories to safety in Great Britain. They came to a new family, a new country, and a new life. Approximately 250 of these children were sponsored by Christadelphians, a small Christian group. Often the Holocaust is considered in terms of statistics: how many perished and how many were affected, so much so that at times the individual stories are lost in the numbers. This series examines the experiences of the individuals who came to England as children, and lived with Christadelphians. Ten of these child survivors, and their families, participated in the effort to bring about this first volume." -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Christadelphians sponsored approximately 250 of these children, not only pledging money, but by opening their houses and families to them as well. 10 foster children, who had their parents stay behind in Germany, Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, were interviewed for this book. 10 individuals with personal backgrounds, emotions and a different course of life during and after the war. Jason Hensley in Part of the Family: Christadelphians, the Kindertransport, and Rescue from the Holocaust, not only shares backgrounds of the Christadelphians in the first part, includes historical backgrounds of the years these children were born, but also their life with their British foster parents. A book abundant of gratitude, personal tragedies, lost family members, and unique chances to survive World War II and start their own families. ( )
