From December 1938 until the outbreak of World War II in September 1939; some 10;000 children traveled alone from Germany; Austria; Poland and Czechoslovakia to Great Britain on the Kindertransport - the children's transport. Memories That Won't Go Away tells the stories of hundreds of these kinder. Their experiences as strangers in a strange land were often complicated and painful; but as this book illustrates; the rescued children - and their many thousands of descendants - remain eternally grateful to the nation that saved them.

I liked the parts of the book dealing with the firing on the Star of the West; and the Battle of Trevilian Station.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Battalion of State cadetsBy JESSE R WIGHTMANI purchased this book back in 1989 and had the author sign it. This is a thorough history of the Citadel and Arsenal cadets during the Civil War. I've always wondered why VMI touts that they are the only student corps that has been engaged in combat. No doubt; the Battle of New Market in 1864 was a great moment in the history of VMI. The Battalion of State cadets from the Citadel in Charleston and the Arsenal in Columbia were called to duty in DEC 1864 to combat Sherman's invasion of SC. The Battalion of State cadets and units from GA (5th and 44th) along with some SC artillery units set up defensive positions along the Tulifinny railroad trestle. About 5000 Union forces from OH and NY attacked the defensive positions from 7-9 DEC and were stopped. I believe the U.S. Marines attacked the defensive position manned by the Battalion of State cadets. Mr. Don Troiani or another well known Civil War artist should do a rendering of this key battle that allowed 10;000 Confederate troops to escape from Savannah; GA. The flag the Battalion of State cadets flew at the Battle of Tulifinny was given to them by the Washington Light Infantry of Charleston in FEB 1857. It is in the school's museum collection and there is a picture of the flag in the book by Gary Baker. Highly recommend this book for ACW historians.
