The 24th of March, 1939, was a poignant day for twelve-year-old Gerald Wiener. Looked after by two sisters in Oxford, his abilities as a scholar became apparent and from an early age he was set on the road to academic achievement. He was on a train pulling out of Berlin and he was on his way to the UK to escape persecution in Nazi Germany. He was one of the thousands of unaccompanied children saved by the Kindertransport. This book shows how one man’s life and achievements mirror the great events of the second half of the twentieth century and the opening years of the new millennium.
