Publisher's Synopsis
The extraordinary story of why, and how, a young academic gave up her Rockefeller Scholarship for travel to the West Indies in 1938, and instead went to Prague. There she joined a small group of other like-minded people who rescued thousands of anti-Nazi men and women, and, with Nicholas Winton, Jewish children. This is also the story of Doreen's subsequent life, her startling loves and losses, told by her nephew through her own diaries and letters, as well as contemporary accounts.
