Esther Starobin was two years old when her parents sent her out of their German hometown to an uncertain life in England. An organized rescue effort for Jewish children, known as the Kindertransport, took place between 1938 and 1940. Esther spent the next eight years with a foster family, largely unaware what was happening to her parents and brother who had remained in Germany.
