„In meiner Tasche“

Dorrith M. Sim (Marianne Oppenheim), Illustrationen von Gerald Fitzgerald

It is actually a sad story, but it also gives hope: A little girl is sent alone on a long journey to a strange world, without parents, with many other children, to strange people with a strange language. But the parents did not voluntarily send their child away. It is a Jewish girl’s escape from the persecution of Nazi tyranny in 1939. A children’s book about child transports in the “Third Reich” – is that possible? The answer is yes. Thanks to the simple texts and the appealing images, the book can be read in primary school, the additional texts in English and a short historical description of the “Kindertransport” can also be used in various subjects. It is very well suited to relate the present to the fates of today’s refugee children in class. “
