I really applaud the way you’ve got so many historical details into such a short text, and made it emotional too. It’s honestly brilliant, and I’ll be recommending it to all the Jewish schools, and reminding HET about it. You haven’t shied away from those cruel and harsh memories, and you’ve represented it very fairly. I should think the survivors would be pleased at your perpetuation of their memories. ” CLARE ZINKIN book blogger and teacher I am looking forward to promoting the book at school especially with our history department and a poster will be really useful. As ever, the depth of your research shines through your absolutely compelling and accessible storytelling.” Librarian Bury Grammar School But there are also large differences. Most noticeably, there is a large jump in 1994 – marking the Rwandan genocide – which is present in some series, but absent from others. A moving and thought-provoking read which shares the experiences of the Windermere Children. Tom has worked carefully with survivors, including members of our much-loved survivor family, to create a book which captures many of their memories of arrival and first months in Britain.

You see in the chart that there are certainly similarities across the different sources. Overall they show a decline in conflict deaths into the 2000s, followed by an increase in the 2010s. 2In this book I really enjoyed the mystery and suspense, such as when Yossi was scared and desperate to hear hopefully good news or signs on his missing farther. The character that I found the most interesting was Yossi because I felt that he was the main character and then again I liked him because his dad was announced missing in the start of the book leaving suspense for the reader. I would probably recommend this book to students/pupils of kings school who like and are interested in the history of world war 1 and world war 2 and people who like a bit of mystery and suspense in the books that they read.

This summer, I travelled in the footsteps of the 300 Windermere Children, who came from Auschwitz to Ambleside over 75 years ago. Along with headteacher Simon Robinson, I cycled 30 miles from Carlisle airport to Ullswater; canoed 10 miles up Ullswater and then fell ran the 15 miles (and 1000 metre climb) from Ullswater to Windermere.In addition to those deaths caused directly by violence – for instance those from gunshot or explosions – a significant proportion of lives lost in conflict are indirect: due to disease, starvation or exposure.
