Notes
In 1938, Jewish families are scrambling to flee Vienna. Desperate, they take out adverts offering their children into the safe keeping of readers of a British newspaper, the Manchester Guardian. Eighty-three years later, journalist Julian Borger comes across the advert that saved his father, Robert, from the Nazis. Robert had kept this a secret, like almost everything else, until he took his own life. Borger traces the remarkable stories of his father, the other advertised children and their families, each thrown into the maelstrom of a world at war.
