This is the history of Stoatley Rough, a school in Surrey, England, founded in 1934, in extraordinary circumstances, to provide a refuge - and education - for Jewish children fortunate enough to escape from mainland Europe on the eve of war. Their experiences as Holocaust survivors, separated from their families, living in a country at war with their own, form an exemplary and moving narrative of hardship and endurance.
