This moving play examines the life, during World War II and after of a Kindertransport child. Though fictitious, it is based upon many real stories.
In November 1938, the British government introduced the Kindertransport scheme, which gave Jewish children – and only children – safe passage to the UK.
Eva Schlesinger is sent to live with Lil, a foster carer, in Manchester, and finds a mixture of kindness, indifference, occasional exploitation and the selflessness of ordinary people faced with needy children. This is the story of Eva and Lil, and their families.
