Good-bye Marianne - As autumn turns toward winter in 1938 Berlin, life
for Marianne Kohn, a young Jewish girl, begins to crumble. First there
was the burning of the neighborhood shops. Then her father, a
bookseller, must leave the family and go into hiding. No longer allowed
to go to school or even sit in a café, Marianne's only comfort is her
beloved mother.
Remember Me - Young Marianne is one of the lucky ones. She has escaped
on the first Kindertransport organized to take Jewish children out of
Germany to safety in Britain. At first Marianne is desperate. Marianne
speaks little English and is made to feel unwelcomed in her sponsor's
home and, most of all, she misses her mother terribly. As the months
pass, she realizes that she cannot control the circumstances around her.
She must rely on herself if she is to survive.
Finding Sophie - Sophie Mandel was only seven years old when she
arrived in London on the first Kindertransport from Germany. She has
grown up with a friend of her parents, a woman she calls Aunt Em, and
despite the war and its deprivations, she has made a good life for
herself in England with her foster mother. She has even stopped thinking
about the parents she left behind. Now the war is over, and
fourteen-year-old Sophie is faced with a terrible dilemma. Where does
she belong?
