The Children of
Willesden Lane – Beyond the Kindertransport: A Memoir of Music, Love, and Survival
– by Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen
This is the memoire and life journey of a child prodigy, Lisa Jura, who escaped from Austria to England via the Kindertransport.
Here is a Holocaust story that can be shared with middle schoolers. Teenagers would be able to relate to 14-year old Lisa's struggle and inspirational story. I read it in just 2 days. I recently learned that the the author, Mona Golabek, is now performing her mother's story through her piano music. I am hoping she comes back to perform in the NYC/NJ area.
