The first volume of this series described the beliefs of the Christadelphians, and told the stories of ten of the children who had left their parents and come to live with Christadelphians via the Kindertransport. This second volume does the same. Just as the first, ten of these child survivors, and their families, give their testimony. Unlike the first volume, however, some of these survivors did not live with Christadelphian families – living instead in Elpis Lodge, the hostel sponsored by Christadelphians in Birmingham. Because of that, this second volume includes further details and primary sources relating to the hostel (in a 55 page appendix), in addition to recounting their childhood, flight from Germany, and new life in England. These are their stories.

Information on the Christadelphian ecclesias in Germany during the 1930's together with the experience of some brethren in excercising their conscience also forms part of the book.

Both volumes are illustrated by many black and white photographs and contains copious information on the sources used and a bibliography.
