Stories about displaced children during WWII.
Unfortunately, they still are being displaced by wars today.
These books are all told by different perspectives.
In Operational Pied Pieper declared in September 1939, 800,000 children were transported from London in just 4 days.
Children were also displaced in France in Europe.
👧🏻 👦🏻 what happens to these children while they‘re away and again once they come home? Who do they belong to?

To whom do displaced children belong after war? Jennifer Rosner once again weaves a moving, lyrical tale that will stay with you.
This is currently a problem in the Ukraine and other war torn areas. 💔💔💔
Thanks to @adventuresbythebook for introducing me to a new favorite author at #SuperBookIV
pickThis book looks at a piece of the Holocaust that is seldom addressed. Many Jewish parents placed their children in Christian homes or sent them to Catholic orphanages to save their lives. But what happened to these children after the war was over? Based on true stories, it makes one question the true meaning of home and family.
pickBeautifully told in her mesmerizing style, Jennifer Rosner introduces us to four characters who suffered through the war and beyond.
Another beautiful, beautiful but heartbreaking-to-the-core read based on true events.
ONCE WE WERE HOME does have some happy stories tucked inside as well, along with comments you will ponder, and thoughts about life‘s worries and lessons.

pickThis book opened my eyes to events that I didn‘t even realize occurred. I had no idea that children were taken from families that fostered them to be put where they “belonged” based on religion. Many times, these children established a bond with the foster families that never broke. The stories portrayed in this book were so sad. So many children didn‘t know who they really were. Many never found out. Thank you, Goodreads, for this ARC.
FULL REVIEW 3/14

Another beautiful, beautiful but heartbreaking-to-the-core read based on true events.
Historical fiction fans will devour this marvelously written, impeccably researched read where Ms. Rosner introduces readers to a little known program organized after the war for displaced children.
So excited.
LOVED The Yellow Bird Sings.
