About this listen
To Keep Her Children, Another Woman Has To Die
Germany 1939 – To save her baby, Trudi Beck must hand her over to strangers who will take her across the sea to a foreign country. Trudi has already lost her husband to the Nazis, her stepsons are taking the train too. Walking away from the train station with empty arms is the hardest thing she's ever done.
London 1939 – Newly married, Sally Matthews, is alone again. Her husband is away training for war, leaving her days and home empty. She volunteers to help with the children from the Kindertransport, becoming captivated by five-year-old Tom and his baby sister, Liesel. Their elder brother, Heinz, is a different story. His attitude, after a period in Dachau concentration camp, makes him difficult to love.
1945 - Five years of war, with Heinz pulled from her family and sent to an internment camp, Sally has to explain to Tom and Liesel what the end of the war means. Return to Germany for the children, hopefully to a surviving family member. Perhaps Trudi has survived the war. Tortured Sally doesn't wish Trudi harm, but Sally can't let go of her children no matter what others say.

Easy WW2 story
Nice storyline, and the narration by Harry Dobby took it to another level, her male female accents young and old is faultless but it is the emotion in her voice that is outstanding.

a great book
This was based on world war two and the hardships of some of the endless youngsters left without parents with loss of life so easy. The story was very easy to understand so you got right at the heart of things going on straight from the beginning and that easy listening theme carried on throughout the book. Well worth your time listening.

Brilliant story based on treatment of Jews in world war 2
Super narration with a gripping story about Jewish children sent to England at the onset of Second World War.

Wonderful
This was an amazing insight of what life must have been like for the Jews and their families. I found it really interesting and very sad at times. It has helped to educate me a little more ( as my parents are from Jamaica and came over to help rebuild the country). I would definitely recommend this book, the narrator was on point too.
