Synopsis

A modern classic about one woman's struggle to come to terms with her past - brutally separated from her German Jewish parents at the age of 9 and brought to England with the promise of a new life.

Kindertransport is a set text for GE Drama (AQA) and AS/A-Level English Literature (WJEC).

This edition also includes several personal memoirs by German-born children whose lives were saved, and transformed, by the Kindertransport.

Winner of the 1992 Verity Bargate Award

'Desperately harrowing... searing theatre that cuts across a continuum of suffering to the very heart of what unifies us as human' The Times

'A powerful contribution to Holocaust literature... presented with emotional clarity and intense sympathy' New Yorker
