El último tren a la libertad

El último tren a la libertad

Clayton, Meg Waite

In 1936, for the fifteen-year-old Stephan Neuman the Nazis are nothing more than brutes, something more than noisy. Stephan is part of a well-known Jewish family in Vienna and is a fledgling playwright whose settings are the streets of the Austrian capital and even its intricate sewers. His best friend is Zofie-Helene, a Christian girl whose mother is the editor of an anti-Nazi newspaper. But the carefree innocence of both teens will be shattered when the Nazis take over. But there is hope in the dark. Dutch Truss Wijsmuller, better known as Aunt Truss, is part of the Resistance and continually risks her life to smuggle Jewish children out of the Nazi orbit into countries willing to host them. A mission that becomes even more complicated when Germany takes over Austria, the Anschluss, as countries across Europe close their borders to the growing number of desperate refugees. But Aunt Truss is determined to save as many children as she can. When Great Britain decides to host a certain number of refugees, it must dare to approach Adolf Eichmann (the man who years later will be behind the Final Solution), in a race against time to save boys like Stephan, his younger brother Walter and Helene, and for this they must undertake a dangerous journey to an unknown destination abroad.
