In The Last Train to London (translated as De laatste trein naar vrijheid for HarperCollins), we follow fifteen-year old Stephan Neuman, the son of a wealthy and influential Jewish family and his best friend Žofie-Helene, a Christian girl whose mother edits a progressive, anti-Nazi newspaper. But their carefree innocence is shattered when the Nazis take control.
Truus Wijsmuller, a central character in the book, was a member of the Dutch resistance who helped some 10,000 predominantly Jewish children to escape from Nazi-occupied European cities to the UK just prior to the breakout of WWII.
