[Here], Clare Ungerson tells the ... story of hwo 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. The whole rescue was funded by the British Jewish community, with help from American Jewry. ... [This] is not just a story of salvation, but also a revealing account of how a small English community reacted to the arrival of so many German Jews in their midst."--Jacket.
