After the War: From Auschwitz to Ambleside by Tom Palmer

5.0

I really loved this sensitively told story of Jewish children rescued from Auschwitz and brought to an estate on the banks of Lake Windermere. Here it is hoped they can begin to heal and throughout the story the smallest details of things we take completely for granted today are shown to have such a huge significance for these survivors of concentration camps. From not having to fight for food, clean sheets, being able to learn... it's all written so beautifully. Mixed with the tragedy there is also hope and this is a hopeful book overall. An really great book overall.
