Produktbeschreibung

In April 1933, as Nazi flags appeared across Germany, one schoolteacher understood what others still hoped was impossible to imagine. Fear had entered the classroom; and it would not leave on its own.

Anna Essinger chose to act.

What looked like an ordinary hiking trip became the first step in a daring rescue. While the world hesitated, she secretly moved her entire school; sixty-six children; out of Nazi Germany and into safety. It was only the beginning of a fifteen-year mission that would protect more than nine hundred children from persecution, separation, and loss.

The Distance Between Fear and Freedom tells the extraordinary true story of a woman who believed education was a moral responsibility. From her progressive school in Germany to its rebirth as Bunce Court in England, Anna Essinger built a refuge where children were taught not just to survive; but to think, question, and live without fear.

As the Holocaust unfolded, her school welcomed refugee children, Kindertransport arrivals, and eventually concentration camp survivors. With patience, structure, and unwavering humanity, Anna and her staff helped them reclaim trust, dignity, and hope.

This is not a story of grand speeches or public defiance. It is a story of early clarity, quiet courage, and the power of choosing action when waiting would cost too much.

Profound and unforgettable, The Distance Between Fear and Freedom reveals how the smallest decisions; a walk, a school, a refusal to look away; can change hundreds of lives, and leave a legacy that outlasts even the darkest regimes.
