The narrative centers on the evacuation of Jewish children from London's East End to the Cornish village of Mousehole during World War II. In June 1940, around 100 children and their teachers faced a challenging journey, ultimately finding refuge and acceptance within the local community. The children quickly adapted to village life, engaging in activities like swimming and fishing. This heartwarming tale highlights themes of integration and resilience, as the author reflects on the contrasting fates of Jewish children during the war. It features personal accounts, historical research, and rich illustrations.
