'This is the true story of Lutz Eichbaum's admirable achievement in navigating his way through one of the most treacherous and cruel periods in world history. Lutz witnessed the drama and injustice of four traumatic historical events which are inked together in the telling of this extraordinary tale of survival: the violence of Kristallnacht, the mercy rescue of the Kindertransport program, the horrific voyage on the Dunera and subsequent years of deplorable and isolated internment in Australia. He found hope, friendship and solace in the impressively organised internment camp community as they continually appealed for justice and finally earned the right to recreate themselves in a strange country. Lutz Eichbaum is one of the youngest of the renowned 'Dunera Boys''. -- from the back cover.
