The Uncharted Voyage by Gitta Ogg

A moving true story of displacement, regeneration and renewal, The Uncharted Voyage is a candid account of a childhood riven by war. At the outbreak of World War II, Gitta Ogg and her family were forced to flee from their native Czechoslovakia. Her father had realised that even their change of religion from Jews to Catholics would not protect them against the menace of anti-Semitism and persecution from the Nazis. Gitta and her mother joined him in Paris, but their new-found peace there was quickly brought to end, as the war forced them once again to flee, on a long and circuitous voyage which took them to Casablanca, Lisbon, Gibraltar and finally to Liverpool and London. This remarkable book recounts all these events through young Gitta's eyes, making extensive use of two of her childhood diaries: one written immediately before the outbreak of war, the other scribbled on scraps of paper during her desperate flight from Paris to London. As such, it is a stirring testament to human endurance, and also a valuable historical record.
