I seek a kind person : my father, seven children, and the adverts that helped them escape the Holocaust / Julian Borger.
This memoir explores the experiences of children who escaped the Holocaust through advertisements placed in the Manchester Guardian by Jewish families in Vienna in 1938. The book follows journalist Julian Borger as he investigates the story of his father, Robert, who was one of the children saved by such an ad. Decades later, Borger uncovers the hidden histories of his father and other children who were displaced during World War II. Drawing on historical records and personal accounts, the narrative spans various locations, including Vienna, Shanghai, Britain, Nazi Germany, Holland, France, and New York, highlighting the children's journeys, the impact of war, and the individuals who helped them survive.
