Anna had read Mein Kampf and knew the terrible danger that Hitler's hate-fueled ideologies posed to her pupils. She knew that to protect them she had to get her pupils to the safety of England. But the safe haven that Anna struggled to create in a rundown manor house in Kent would test her to the limit. As the news from Europe continued to darken, Anna rescued successive waves of fleeing children and, when war broke out, she and her pupils faced a second exodus. One by one countries fell to the Nazis and before long unspeakable rumors began to circulate. Red Cross messages stopped and parents in occupied Europe vanished. In time, Anna would take in orphans who had given up all hope; the survivors of unimaginable horrors. Anna's school offered these scarred children the love and security they needed to rebuild their lives, showing them that, despite everything, there was still a world worth fighting for.Featuring moving first-hand testimony, and drawn from letters, diaries and present-day interviews, The School That Escaped the Nazis is a dramatic human tale that offers a unique child's-eye perspective on Nazi persecution and the Holocaust. It is also the story of one woman's refusal to allow her beliefs in a better, more equitable world to be overtaken by the evil that surrounded her. 591 Record updated by Marcive brief record update service 24 June 2024 600 10 Essinger, Anna, |d1879-1960. 650 0 Boarding schools |zEngland |zKent |xHistory |y20th century. 610 20 Bunce Court School (Otterden, Kent) 650 0 Kindertransports (Rescue operations) |zGreat Britain. 650 0 Jewish refugees |zGreat Britain |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jewish children |zGreat Britain |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Refugee children |xEducation |zEngland |zKent |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Refugees |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 651 0 Kent (England) |xHistory |y20th century. 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 650 6 Internats |zAngleterre |zKent |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 650 6 Enfants réfugiés |xÉducation |zAngleterre |zKent |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 650 6 Holocauste, 1939-1945. 650 7 HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century / Holocaust. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / 20th Century. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Genocide & War Crimes. |2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Educators. |2bisacsh 650 7 Boarding schools. |2fast 650 7 Refugee children |xEducation. |2fast 650 7 Refugees. |2fast 651 7 England |zKent. |2fast 651 7 Germany. |2fast 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast 600 17 Essinger, Anna, |d1879-1960. |2nli 650 7 Boarding schools |zEngland |zKent |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Refugee children |xEducation |zEngland |zKent |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Refugees |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2nli 651 7 Kent (England) |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf 852 0 |breceiving |kShelved at 48-5-4 852 0 |breceiving |kShelved at 48-5-4 |tc.2
