In 2015, increasing numbers of refugees and migrants, most of them
fleeing war-torn homelands, arrived by boat on the shores of
Greece, setting off the greatest human displacement in Europe since
WWII. As journalists reported horrific mass drownings, an
ill-prepared and seemingly indifferent world looked on. Those who
reached land needed food, clothing, medicine and shelter, but the
international aid system broke down completely. In a way that no
one could have anticipated, volunteers arrived to help. Dana
Sachs's compelling eyewitness account weaves together the lives of
seven individuals and their families - including a British coal
miner's daughter, a Syrian mother of six, and a jill-of-all-trades
from New Zealand - who became part of this extraordinary effort.
The story of their successes, and failures, is unforgettable and
inspiring, and a clarion call for resilience and hope in the face
of despair. War had shattered people's lives. This is what happened
next.
