{"product_id":"9780991900930","title":"I'm Not Going Back: Wartime Memoir of a Child Evacuee","description":"This forthright memoir is based on the author's experiences as a child evacuee from the East End of London during World War Two. Kitty is not a child from the Kindertransport, but a Jewish Londoner who is evacuated along with the rest of London's children to the safety of the British countryside. But after lodging in a series of foster homes, she decides that not even the imminent threat of Nazi bombs can keep her away from her Mum and Uncle Yudi in London. A new epilogue brings the story up to war's end and the historic victory celebration outside Buckingham Palace. \u003cp\u003ePraise for I'm Not Going Back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kitty recounts life in a country village under the thumb of a dour and cold taskmaster.
