Reviews

this book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the refugees who so enriched British culture in the 1930s and 1940s. * David Herman, Jewish Renaissance * this book documents stories of individuals and institutions showing imagination as well as sympathy ... it is good to be reminded of more enlightened and more generous impulses * Stefan Collini, London Review of Books *
