The school that escaped the Nazis : the true story of the schoolteacher who defied Hitler
(Book)

In 1933, as Hitler came to power, schoolteacher Anna Essinger hatched a courageous plan to smuggle her entire school out of Nazi Germany. Anna knew the terrible danger that Hitler's hate-fueled ideologies posed to her pupils. She knew that to protect them she had to get her pupils to the safety of England. But the safe haven that Anna struggled to create in a rundown manor house in Kent would test her to the limit. One by one countries fell to the Nazis and before long unspeakable rumors began to circulate. In time, Anna would take in orphans who had given up all hope; the survivors of unimaginable horrors. Anna's school offered these scarred children the love and security they needed to rebuild their lives, showing them that, despite everything, there was still a world worth fighting for.
