Based on interviews, this work is a thematic study of representative men and women who came to Britain from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia as refugees from Nazism. Of the 34 interviewees, 23 are women and six are non-Jewish. The German-speaking emigration to Britain from 1933 through 1940 is often referred to as "Hitler's Gift" because of the many distinguished scholars and scientists it yielded. This book, with its many accounts of unsung achievement, for the first time shows the true dimensions of that gift.
