Adapted for young readers from the book: The children of Willesden Lane : beyond the kindertransport : a memoir of music, love, and survival by Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen, published by Warner Books, ©2002
Description
Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler's armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa's parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport, they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. As she yearned to be reunited with her family while she lived in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa's music became a beacon of hope.
