With the rise of Nazism and antisemitism in Europe in the 1930s, many Jews fled persecution and sought refuge in Britain. Tells the stories of refugees in Birmingham (many of them children) and how they were expelled from their schools, professions, and homelands (in Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary). Describes their problems in adapting to the new circumstances and the reaction of the Jewish and general communities. Antisemitism is mentioned throughout the book in relation to individual experiences.
