Hold on to your music : the inspiring true story of the children of Willesden Lane / by Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen ; adapted by Emil Sher ; illustrated by Sonia Possentini.
"In pre-World War II Vienna, Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who dreamed of becoming a concert pianist. But when enemy forces threatened the city--particularly the Jewish people that lived there--Lisa's parents were forced to make a difficult decision. They chose to send Lisa to London for safety through the Kindertransport--a rescue effort that relocated Jewish children. As Lisa yearned to be reunited with her family while living in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, her music became a beacon of hope for those around her." -- Amazon.com. "The inspiring true story of one young girl's escape from the Holocaust to become a concert pianist against all odds"-- Provided by publisher.
