Author Professor Emerita Clare Ungerson joined LBI's Book Club to discuss her book Four Thousand Lives: The Rescue of Jewish Men to Britain, 1939.
In November 1938, about 30,000 German Jewish men were taken to concentration camps where they were subjected to torture, starvation and arbitrary death. In Four Thousand Lives, Clare Ungerson tells the remarkable story of how the grandees of Anglo-Jewry persuaded the British Government to allow them to establish a transit camp in Sandwich, East Kent, to which up to 4,000 men could be brought while they waited for permanent settlement overseas.
