A popular history telling the stories of a varied group of people who found refuge in Wales from the scourge of National Socialism in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. The book is designed to 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. The book will include a chapter - a kind of historical postscript - on the experience of contemporary Syrian refugees.
