Elisabeth Orsten grew up in a comfortable Viennese middle class milieu, together with her wealthy parents, her younger brother George and her nanny. Educated as a Roman Catholic, she was nevertheless Jewish according to Nazi criteria, and it rapidly became clear to her parents that if she was to survive the Nazi occupation she would have to leave her native country. Her settled and secure childhood changed abruptly in January 1939, when she and her brother George were transported to England by the Jewish Refugee Children's Movement in an operation parallel to the English Quakers; 'kindertransport'. In England she was lodged with a friend of her family and her three daughters, but they were unable to accommodate George, who was found a lodging by the Quakers in a different part of the country. Feeling very much alone, Elisabeth immediately had to start learning an entirely new language and to accommodate herself to a quite different culture from the one she was used to. The struggle shows in her narrative of those times and, particularly, in the extracts from the diary she had been given by her nanny as a last present before she left Austria and which she began writing in to maintain her German. When at last she managed to begin feeling at home in England, there was yet more disruption in her life. At the age of twelve, not knowing where George was, she was put on a ship to America. Confusion on disembarkation, and the renewed difficulties of fitting in with yet another family and culture, were exacerbated by the frightening news of the sinking of later transatlantic transports which might have been carrying others of her family to safety. Only when she was finally reunited with her parents and her brother, in September 1940, did the terror abate; and there her diary entries cease. Fifty years later, now a university professor, Elisabeth Orsten picked up that diary and reread it. As the memories flooded back, she knew that she had to share the story with others, and she began writing these memoirs. Full of personal feelings and private incident, they constitute an intimate account of the problems a refugee child faces when it is suddenly plucked from its usual environment and placed unceremoniously into a different world. Many contemporary refugee children have to deal with harsher conditions than the author endured. Yet their stories have things in common with these memoirs. From Anschluss to Albion can give us all an understanding of the feelings and the turmoil undergone by a refugee child struggling to understand what has occurred and why, while at the same time having to cope with different language, culture, and carers.

Winner of the National Jewish Book Award: viewing the Holocaust through the eyes of youth “Zapruder . . . has done a great service to history and the future. Her book deserves to become a standard in Holocaust studies classes. . . . These writings will certainly impress themselves on the memories of all readers.”—Publishers Weekly “These extraordinary diaries will resonate in the reader’s broken heart for many days and many nights.”—Elie Wiesel This stirring collection of diaries written by young people, aged twelve to twenty-two years, during the Holocaust has been fully revised and updated. Some of the writers were refugees, others were in hiding or passing as non-Jews, some were imprisoned in ghettos, and nearly all perished before liberation. This seminal National Jewish Book Award winner preserves the impressions, emotions, and eyewitness reportage of young people whose accounts of daily events and often unexpected thoughts, ideas, and feelings serve to deepen and complicate our understanding of life during the Holocaust. The second paperback edition includes a new preface by Alexandra Zapruder examining the book’s history and impact. Simultaneously, a multimedia edition incorporates a wealth of new content in a variety of media, including photographs of the writers and their families, images of the original diaries, artwork made by the writers, historical documents, glossary terms, maps, survivor testimony (some available for the first time), and video of the author teaching key passages. In addition, an in-depth, interdisciplinary curriculum in history, literature, and writing developed by the author and a team of teachers, working in cooperation with the educational organization Facing History and Ourselves, is now available to support use of the book in middle- and high-school classrooms.

Now in paperback, a beautifully illustrated guide to the white and green sign of spring. Elegant flowers dressed in simple white and green, snowdrops look far too fragile to deal with wintry weather. But that’s just what they do, and they have become treasured by horticulturalists for their ability to flower in the earliest parts of the year. In this book, Gail Harland explores the role snowdrops have played in gardens and popular culture alike, as a treasured genus for enthusiast growers and an important symbol of hope and consolation. Harland explores a variety of cultural meanings for the deceptively petit flower. In Victorian England snowdrop bands encouraged chastity among young women. They have been favorite subjects in paintings in many different eras, and today they are the iconic symbols of several hope-giving charities. Poets and writers have written extensively about them, as have pharmacists, who have used their chemical, galantamine, in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Today some of their rarer bulbs can fetch record-breaking sums, and annual festivals that celebrate them draw people from all over the world. Walking among their brilliant white beds, Harland offers an ideal companion for any plant-lover who has ever eagerly awaited this treasured sign of spring.

The present volume is the result of an interdisciplinary oral history research project, which was carried out at the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex. It focuses on the Kindertransport, the British rescue operation saving 10,000 predominantly German-Jewish children from Nazi Germany, and is based on in-depth case studies of five child survivors of the Holocaust. Looking at human development over the life cycle as mediated by intervening trauma was at the heart of the project, which examined the making and breaking of a child's close ties to significant others, processes of identity formation under acculturative stress as well as the creation and recall of traumatic memories. The study is thus one of the few in the field of attachment research which sheds light on the lifelong influence which early attachment has on coping with massive cumulative trauma. The former child refugees' narratives are enriched by letters, diaries, or articles written by them and their (host) families as well as by interviews conducted with family members and friends. Consequently, we can look at individual lives and collective destinies from more than one perspective as we are provided with rich, multi-layered accounts of people's whole-life trajectories. While each Holocaust survivor's developmental story is unique, it is, however, linked to the others' by the common experience of negotiating an identity between two countries, cultures, and religions against the background of unparalleled political upheavals, and as such also sheds light on, and offers ways out of, the traumata suffered in present-day contexts of enforced migration and displacement.
