In Holland she meets a group of children from a Berlin orphanage, the first children to go to England on the Kindertransport.

Cuckoo Clock - New York | Elisabeth Marrion
Pickpick

This is a rich story full of dynamic characters, set in Europe and America during WWII. The author does a beautiful job of capturing the devastation and horror of the holocaust without getting mired in tragedy. The quick paced plot and sympathetic characters would also translate well into a film!
