Kristallnacht and increasing violence in 1938 was the impetus for Jewish parents in Austria and Germany to find safe haven for their children elsewhere. Reed (formerly Werner Rindsberg) was one of those children who emigrated in 1941 to America and came back two years later as a soldier. Thoroughly documented, Reed’s book sheds light on how innocent children were persecuted and brutalized by the Nazis and spotlights the incredible courage of the parents, the rescuers and caretakers, as well as the heroic actions of the children themselves.
