Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Elisabeth Orsten grew up in a comfortable Viennese middle class milieu, together with her wealthy parents, her younger brother George and her nanny. Educated as a Roman Catholic, she was nevertheless Jewish according to Nazi criteria, and it rapidly became clear to her parents that if she was to survive the Nazi occupation she would have to leave her native country. Her settled and secure childhood changed abruptly in January 1939, when she and her brother George were transported to England by the Jewish Refugee Children's Movement in an operation parallel to the English Quakers; 'kindertransport' In England she was lodged with a friend of her family and her three daughters, but they were unable to accommodate George, who was found a lodging by the Quakers in a different part of the country. Feeling very much alone, Elisabeth immediately had to start learning an entirely new language and to accommodate herself to a quite different culture from the one she was used to. The struggle shows in her narrative of those times and, particularly, in the extracts from the diary she had been given by her nanny as a last present before she left Austria and which she began writing in to maintain her German. When at last she managed to begin feeling at home in England, there was yet more disruption in her life. At the age of twelve, not knowing where George was, she was put on a ship to America. Confusion on disembarkation, and the renewed difficulties of fitting in with yet another family and culture, were exacerbated by the frightening news of the sinking of later transatlantic transports which might have been carrying others of her family to safety. Only when she was finally reunited with her parents and her brother, in September 1940, did the terror abate; and there her diary entries cease. Fifty years later, now a university professor, Elisabeth Orsten picked up that diary and reread it. As the memories flooded back, she knew that she had to share the story with others, and she began writing these memoirs. Full of personal feelings and private incident, they constitute an intimate account of the problems a refugee child faces when it is suddenly plucked from its usual environment and placed unceremoniously into a different world. Many contemporary refugee children have to deal with harsher conditions than the author endured. Yet their stories have things in common with these memoirs. From Anschluss to Albion can give us all an understanding of the feelings and the turmoil undergone by a refugee child struggling to understand what has occurred and why, while at the same time having to cope with different language, culture, and carers. Five months after the author's tenth birthday Hitler entered Austria and it became clear to her parents that, even as a Catholic, she was Jewish according to Nazi criteria, and if she were to survive she would have to leave her native country. Transported to England by English Quakers she was lodged with a friend of her family. Feeling very alone Elisabeth had immediately to start learning a new language and to accomodate herself to quite a different culture. Her diary, which she was given by her nanny before she left Austria, shows her struggle in getting used to this new environment. At the age of twelve, just as she was getting used to life in England she was put on a ship to America. Only when she was finally reunited with her parents and brother did the diary entries cease. Fifty years later, Elisabeth Orsten shares the diary with us. Full of personal feelings and private incident, these memories constitute an intimate account of the problems a refugee child faces when suddenly placed alone into a different and unfamiliar world.
