<p>Their first five years in the New Lands is an important and topical historical study. The author has a personal experience of being a child of refugees, but the author tries to distance herself for the sake of scientific method from personal experiences and reach to the greater generalization of the stories entrusted to her. This book is undoubtedly multi-layered, independently from the author, and could be read in accordance with our interest as multi-level stories. If subtitle of this book tells us that it was a "fractured generation", then we can also say that even the publication of this book shows that these children were fortunate, mostly thanks to the efforts of their parents and their close ones, which helped them to grow out from their difficult fates on the foreign land. Today, the world is once again a lot of children who are forced to leave their homeland: This book can also be given access to much-needed new energy to not become the next "fractured generation". Once it happens, this book has already done a big favour towards a better world, but for the researches this book is an indispensable handbook, which should find its way on desk of the every researcher of the WWII.</p>

Estonia's War Children: A Fractured Generation

Biographies & Memoirs

Maddison, Mai

Historical

Brolga Pub.

This is a book of the wartime memories of the children, whose pre war home was in Estonia and who were destined to move around war-torn Europe as refugees. After the war, they had to remain, to live and work in different places in the world, as they could not return to their homeland because of the regime which had taken over their country. This book is an excellent complement to the memories of wartime children, which have already been published. This book is also special, as the authors of the memoirs are already great grandparents remembering their own parents, who were trying to bring their children a feeling of home despite the fact that there was a war going on. It was sometimes extremely difficult if impossible, but it was still accomplished.
