- Reading
- Read in short stretches and pause after an account to check how it has landed. Let the reader choose whether to continue or take a break.
- Themes
- Children in hiding: Fourteen personal accounts describe children hidden during the Second World War, including separation from home and family. The collection centres children’s lived experiences; the precise framing of each account is unclear.
- People who sheltered children: Children are said to have hidden with relatives, neighbours or strangers, within a network of people who sheltered them. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to grief and loss.
