This edition also includes several personal memoirs by German-born children whose lives were saved, and transformed, by the Kindertransport.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This play combines elements of realism with a mysterious past that manifests itself in the present, and changes the lives of three women who thought the past was not part of the present. Set simultaneously in Hitler's Germany and contemporary England, it tells the story of a woman who left Germany as a child on the kindertransport, but was never rejoined by her parents. As time passes, she becomes more English, doing her best to forget her German past, but never able to let go fully, until one day her daughter discovers that her mother is not exactly who she thought. The clash of cultures and generations mingles with the tragedy of the Holocaust to generate a truly moving, well written work.
