Book excerpt: 'First published 54 years ago and yet feels as timely as any book I've read this year' Observer Nine months after the Nazi occupation of Austria, 600 Jewish Children assembled at Vienna station to board the first of the Kindertransports bound for Britain. Among them was 10 year old Lore Segal. For the next seven years, she lived as a refugee in other people's houses, moving from the Orthodox Levines in Liverpool, to the staunchly working class Hoopers in Kent, to the genteel Miss Douglas and her sister in Guildford. Few understood the terrors she had fled, or the crushing responsibility of trying to help her parents gain a visa. Amazingly she succeeds and two years later her parents arrive; their visa allows them to work as domestic servants - a humiliation for which they must be grateful. In Other People's Houses Segal evokes with deep compassion, clarity and calm the experience of a child uprooted from a loving home to become stranded among strangers.

Book excerpt: The heartbreaking and inspiring story of 10,000 children saved from the Nazi regime. In Nov. 1938, international public opinion was shocked by the news of Kristallnacht -- the anti-Jewish pogrom that led to the burning of synagogues and the first mass arrests of Jewish men. Twelve days later, the British gov't. implemented a plan, known as the Kindertransport, which allowed many children to leave the horrors of the Nazi regime, and find temporary refuge within Britain. By the time war was declared in Sept. 1939 this undertaking had saved 10,000 lives. Here, the story of what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the Nazi threat, to escape danger and fear, but also to leave family and friends -- perhaps forever -- is told in the words of those directly involved.
