5550X1 First American Edition. Henry Holt, New York: 1997. 511 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. In 1945, Britain offered to take in 1,000 young Holocaust survivors. Only 732 could be found. Flown to England, they became a close-knit band of friends; even as some migrated to America and Canada, that bond held, and is, today, celebrated annually at a reunion dinner commemorating their liberation. For twenty years, the distinguished historian Martin Gilbert has been attending their reunions, and in 1994 it was suggested that the boys send him their recollections. Now, with a magisterial sweep, Martin Gilbert captures their voices, weaving them into a whole that becomes a powerful personal statement on the Holocaust and a moving memorial to all those who did not survive. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0805044027 $14.30USD
