Following the horrors of Kristallnacht in November of 1938, a group of Belgian women organised a desperate and highly dangerous rescue mission to usher nearly 1,000 children out of Germany and Austria. Of these children, ninety-three made it to the isolated Château de la Hille in southern France. In The Children of La Hille, Reed presents a firsthand account of the amazing rescue and the countless heroic efforts of those who helped along the way.
