Description
A popular history telling the stories of people who found refuge in Wales from Nazism in the 1930s and 1940s.
Finding Refuge will resonate with those who have personal experience of similar situations, those looking to understand the refugee experience, young people investigating Welsh and European history and the stories of their ancestors, as well as the general history reader.
These are stories of child refugees, artists and doctors. Their testimonies are harrowing and sad, but also at times funny and hopeful.
