We Had to Be Brave

In this poignant audiobook, award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson recounts the true stories of Jewish children, including Ruth David, who escaped Nazi Germany through the Kindertransport program. As the Nazi regime tightened its grip, families faced escalating anti-Semitic violence, culminating in the horrors of Kristallnacht. Volunteers organized a desperate rescue, allowing children to flee to England, leaving behind their homes and families amid the uncertainty of war. Through heart-wrenching personal accounts, Hopkinson illustrates the profound sacrifices made and the resilience required to build new lives under unimaginable circumstances.
