In store now! Survivors, by Rebecca Clifford

 With Holocaust Memorial Day just behind us, it seems the perfect time to highlight Rebecca Clifford’s seminal Survivors: Children’s Lives After the Holocaust. All too often, our memorials of past events stop with the event itself, and the lives of those who survive are passed over in the silent aftermath of atrocity. Survivors aims to redress the balance by charting the experiences of those children who made it out of the camps, as well as the people who studied them, such as Anna Freud.

Following the lives of one hundred Jewish children and their carers as they attempt to make sense of the world they re-entered, the horror they ostensibly left behind, and their struggles to have their survival recognised.

A fascinating, moving, and ultimately deeply important work whose legacy will have lasting implications.

Survivors by Rebecca Clifford

Paperback £11.99

How can we make sense of our lives when we do not know where we come from? This was a pressing question for the youngest survivors of the Holocaust, whose prewar memories were vague or nonexistent. In this beautifully written account, Rebecca Clifford follows the lives of one hundred Jewish children out of the ruins of conflict through their adulthood and into old age.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 


We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
