THE LAST TRAIN TO LONDON

THE LAST TRAIN TO LONDON by Meg Waite Clayton

The Last Train to London by Meg Waite Clayton is a very moving book documenting the change to Vienna, Austria when Hitler and his Nazis took over. Following the story of a wealthy, influential, Jewish family, The Last Train takes us through the utter destruction that happened to so many families during this occupation. While much of the story is one of deep sadness, it also highlights those that risked their lives to do what they could to help others as we follow one brave woman's constant attempts to help as many Jewish children escape as possible.

This book is very powerful. It is not an easy read as a mother considering the choices that parents had to make at that time. It is a book that will cause some self examination to occur as you consider what you would have done in the different situations that are presented.

HEADS UP- There are a couple of sexual comments made, and at one point there a person hiding in a room where an affair takes place. There's not a lot of detail, and it's an easy part to skip over.
