Summary: In 1930s Germany, young Ruth faces rising anti-Semitism as Hitler gains power. Amidst the chaos of Kristallnacht, she boards the Kindertransport, leaving her family for an uncertain future in England. As war looms, Ruth and other refugee children must adapt to new lives, while the fate of their loved ones remains unknown. This poignant narrative reveals the resilience and hope of those who escaped, and the heart-wrenching sacrifices made to save them. Will they ever reunite with their families, or is their past lost forever? Discover the true stories of courage and survival during one of history's darkest times.
