The Children of Willesden Lane
Beyond the Kindertransport:
A Memoir of Music, Love and Survival
by Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen
Book - $12
Autographed book - $25
“Music will give you strength,” her mother reassured her. “It will be your best friend in life.” Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler’s armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa’s parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters aboard the Kindertransport, they chose to send gifted Lisa to London and safety. Here, in a hostel on Willesden lane, Lisa’s music would become a beacon of hope for other displaced children who would cheer her on as she fought to realize her musical dreams. A memoir of courage, survival, and the power of music to uplift the human spirit, The Children of Willesden Lane is Mona Golabek’s inspiring tribute to her mother, Lisa.
“A poignant and heart wrenching true story that captures the power of one person’s dedication to music and immense love for the human spirit."
Zubin Mehta
