En 1936
para el quinceañero Stephan Neuman los nazis no son más que unos brutos algo
más que ruidosos. Stephan forma parte de una infl uyente familia judía de
Viena y es un incipiente dramaturgo cuyos escenarios son calles de la capital
austriaca e incluso sus intrincadas alcantarillas. Su mejor amiga es Zofi
e-Helene, una chica cristiana cuya madre es la editora de un periódico antinazi. Pero la inocencia libre de
preocupaciones de ambos adolescentes se verá rota en pedazos cuando los nazis
toman el control.

Pero hay esperanza en la oscuridad. Truss Wijsmuller, miembro de la
resistencia de origen holandés, arriesga continuamente su vida para pasar de
contrabando niños


judíos fuera de la órbita nazi hacia países dispuestos a acogerlos. Una
misión que se hace aún más complicada cuando Alemania se apodera de Austria,
el Anschluss, ya que por
toda Europa los países cierran sus fronteras ante el creciente número de
refugiados desesperados. La tía Truss, como es conocida, está decidida a salvar a tantos niños como
sea capaz. Cuando Gran Bretaña decide acoger cierto número de refugiados,
deberá atreverse a acercarse a Adolf Eichmann, el hombre que años después
estará detrás de la Solución Final, en una carrera contra reloj para salvar a
la mayor cantidad posible de niños
como Stephan, su hermano menor Walter y Helene, y para ello deberán
emprender un viaje peligroso hacia un destino desconocido en el extranjero.

From the New York Times bestselling novelist Meg Waite Clayton comes a powerful novel, set in the pre-World War II era, based on the true story of the Kindertransport rescue of ten thousand children from Nazi-occupied Europe--and of one brave woman who helped them escape.

In 1936, the Nazis are little more than brutish boors to fifteen-year-old Stephan Neuman, a budding playwright and the son of a wealthy and influential Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. Stephan's best friend and companion is the brilliant Zofie-Helene, a Christian girl whose mother edits a progressive, anti-Nazi newspaper. But the two adolescents' carefree innocence is shattered when Hitler's forces advance.

There is hope in the darkness, though. Truus Wijsmuller, a childless Dutchwoman, risks her life to smuggle children out of Nazi-occupied lands to the nations that will take them. It is a mission that becomes even more dangerous as countries across Europe close their borders to the growing number of refugees desperate to escape after the Anschluss, Hitler's annexation of Austria.

Tante Truus, as she is known, is determined to save as many children as she can. After Britain passes a measure to take in young refugees from the German Reich, she dares to approach Adolf Eichmann, the man who would later help devise the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question." Truus then sets off in a race against time to lead hundreds of children on a perilous journey to freedom.
