       Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my father Adi Wittenberg and to the memory of all the members of his family who perished;

      To Daniella Nechama Moffson, daughter of Sheera and Michael, great-great-granddaughter of the quiet heroine of this book;

      To my friend David Cesarani without whose encouragement the work would never have been written;

      To my wife Nicky and our children Mossy, Libbi and Kadya;

      And to the future of all children, especially those who have experienced the fate of the refugee.
