Last Train to London by Meg Waite Clayton

A historical masterpiece highlighting the heroic efforts of one Dutch woman to save as many Jewish children as she could. Truus Wijsmuller known as Tante Truus was able to smuggle out hundreds of children out of Nazi-occupied Vienna in the early days of the war. Her largest extraction was known as Kindertransport which was a one time, one-way train trip authorized by Adolf Eichmann for exactly 600 children. The children were then sent to London to families waiting to take them in. Her story is beautifully told as is the story of a few of those lucky children she helped. It is a vivid illustration of heroism, love, and sacrifice on the part of the families who had to risk everything and say goodbye to save their children. This is a must-read for lovers of wartime heroes, little known WWII stories and amazing feats of courage.
