highlights The Children (1966) by mystery writer
Charity Blackstock (pseudonym of Ursula Torday, 1912–97; 1959 Edgar nominee for
The Woman in the Woods).
The Children are those traumatized by the Holocaust who came for a holiday in England, sponsored by a group headed by Torday (a Gentile). The
New York Times called it a "moving and remarkable memoir."

This was for survivors, right, not kindertransport children? Sounds fascinating.
Yes, Holocaust survivors. On the Neglected Books blog, the book is discussed; the link on "The Children" is to the Kirkus review of the book.
