Something I find hard to grasp the idea that the Jews just kind listened to what they were suppose to do and went along with the resettlement. I understand that they were all very scared but there aren’t many stories of people trying to do their own resettlement to somewhere else they want to go and that is why I decided to have my character move before the resettlement happened. I knew that it would be possible because he was a doctor so he would have the money still to go abroad. There was already so much death from the Holocuast I wanted to have my character get away and be able to live his life and have his family be safe.
Actually, I do know of one story where many Jewish children were able to escape to safety! Sir Nicholas George Winton was a man who rescued and found homes for 669 Jewish children and arranged for their safe passage to Britain. Also, last year Winton’s wife managed to locate a bunch of the, now grown up, children and reunite them with her husband so they could thank him.
