England, 1943: Home is no longer safe for eight-year-old twins Molly and Jacob. Night after night, wailing bombs and screeching planes skim the rooftops overhead. They cradle each other, shivering in terror, not knowing if they'll live to see dawn. Their mother, Martha, has no choice but to evacuate them to the safety of the countryside. At the train station, Martha bites back tears as she says good-bye to her precious children. Knowing she might never see them again, she gives Jacob a letter, pressing the envelope into his hands and telling him to only read it if they are in danger.

Historia
This story is dedicated to all the victims of sexual slavery in German concentration camps, who had to endure inhumane suffering under the Nazi regime. For many years after the atrocities had been committed, both sides - the abusers and the abused - still vehemently denied certain aspects of the Holocaust, and even the victims refused to admit the ugly truth about their incarceration, some out of fear, some out of shame, until several women decided to break an unofficial oath of silence, and brought their stories to life. This book is based on one of those stories. Emilia is a young Jewish woman, whose life slowly turns into a nightmare as she finds herself facing a dreadful choice: to secure her family's very existence by offering herself to one of the men who had put her behind the walls with barbed wire, or perish together with the least fortunate ones.

Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

Love this book!
I love how the book keeps you guessing all the way to the end. The way it’s told from different points of views and how you’re completely submerged in the story.

Great book!
The Child on Platform One by Gill Thompson pulled me in from the very beginning. The author wrote an emotional book that opened my eyes. The atrocities perpetrated to the Jewish people was unfathomable. The book wasn’t overly descriptive of the crimes, yet still left an impression on me. I appreciated how the author wove hope and survival into the book as well. Lucy Paterson performed the book quite well. She brought the characters to life with her voice and had fitting emotions. I’ll listen to more books by this author and narrator.

The Child Review
This book was amazing. Sometimes I start listening to a book and can't get into it. This one touched me from the start. The author is new to me- I will certainly get more books from her. And the stellar reading by Lucy Peterson was so good. Sometimes I can guess how the ending might turn out from a book, but not this. Well done. Thank you. The work of the Friends in rescuing Czech children and the miracle of Sir Winton's amazing involvement is well known to me and I'd wondered about the lives of those children affected later on. I've studied the Theresienstadt stories in depth. Things I loved about the book- I could well imagine the strained marriage of a raped girl at that time - of convenience to a suitable husband. I loved how this turned into real love. Also Pamela and Hugh's relationship- Hugh's character made me really love him. What a compassionate man! The rescue at the end was dramatic! Very well done.
