I Seek A Kind Person by Julian Borger
My Father, Seven Children and the Adverts that Helped Them Escape the Holocaust
In 1938, Jewish families in Vienna placed adverts offering their children to readers of the Manchester Guardian; one ad ultimately saved the author’s father. Years later, Guardian journalist Julian Borger finds that advert and reconstructs the lives of the children named and their families, tracing journeys from Vienna to Shanghai, Britain, Holland, France and the United States. The book is a personal memoir that explores family secrets, survival, trauma and acts of kindness amid the upheaval of war.
