Hokin, Catherine2025
Books
Ever since the Nazis came to power, violence has spread through the city Esther Spielmann once called home. When her husband and father are murdered during Kristallnacht, she has no choice but to send son, Sascha, to safety. Esther's heart breaks as she watches his thin legs trembling in the cold as he is ushered with the other crying children towards the Kindertransport. As the train leaves the station, she thinks of the painting of the two of them hanging in their house. In it, they are tightly embracing and laughing, everything as it should be. She vows that she will hold him like this once again. But has Esther made a promise she can't possibly keep?
