"Toward the end the book got little slow, I didn't expect almost half of the book to be about life in England. But the stories of the war time experiences of these boys, told in their own words was, both sad and riveting. I really enjoyed this book."
"I loved reading these stories, but I'm not sure if everyone will. I'm really into WWII and all that went with it, so it might be a little more interesting for me. Amazing stories though!!"
"I started this book around Holocaust Remembrance Day here in Israel, and it has left an indelible impression. There are descriptions of life before the war, harrowing personal testimonies of the horrors of the ghettos and the concentration camps, and descriptions of how this group of 732 survivors were brought to England to recover and rebuild their lives.
