A modern classic about one woman’s struggle to come to terms with her past – brutally separated from her German Jewish parents at the age of 9 and brought to England with the promise of a new life. This play examines the life, during World War II and afterwards, of a Kindertransport child. Though fictitious, it is based upon many real Kindertransport stories.
