I wrote this book to tell an important story about a boy from a
wealthy Jewish family who escaped and survive Nazi Germany. His
parents and his sister were killed outside the Lodge concentration
camp in 1941. The book begins with the history of the grandparents
and the parents to the time when the boy found himself with other
boys. They saw their parents quickly fading in the distance as the
locomotive started to pull them into an unknown journey. The boy's
father was wealthy enough to secure for Hans, a place with the
Kinder-Transport. By train and boat the boys arrived in England
were they were received by families who had volunteered to bring
these 'refuge children' into their homes. Hans was fortunate enough
to be assigned to an affluent family, who lived near London. After
several months Hans was informed that there had been a conversation
about adoption between his host and his father. He opted to go to
school on his own and eventually make his way to Palestine. After
attending classes at several locations, Hans and some of his
friends were located to Chester. That is were he found himself when
World War II broke out. Two weeks before his graduation, he and all
his friends were shipped to a farm in Lancashire were they were
taught farming in preparation for Kibbutz-life in Palestine. The
last stop for Hans was in Kindersley, Shropshire where Hans had a
very successful career as a dairy-man. But when the group of boys
and girls had to register as 'Friendly German Enemy Aliens', Hans
and several others opted to volunteer for the 'JEWISH BRIGADE'. It
was because of his service with the Brigade that Hans would find a
way to fulfill his dream to go to Palestine.
