Britain evacuated nearly 10,000 Jewish children from the Nazi-occupied territories in the months leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War. They were placed with host families so they could survive the war. In 1945 there was a second Kindertransport to rescue young survivors of the Holocaust. After the war the Refugee Children Movement was established in order to unite children with any family members who had survived the Holocaust.

In August 1914, the German army invaded neutral Belgium, the world's sixth-ranked industrial power and Europe's second-oldest democracy, violating an 1839 treaty that the German chancellor dismissed as a "scrap of paper". The invaders terrorized and shot thousands of civilians, looted and burned scores of towns, and reduced the once major industrial power to a nonentity. Belgium was a forerunner to Nazi Europe but the Allies were afraid to confront Germany. The author suggests that had they done so, Europe's reaction to the rise of Nazi Germany might have taken a different course.
