Jenny Tuytel, who plays Truus in the Dutch play “Tante Truus & Mamie Mies,” brought this copy to a John Adams Center event I did in Amsterdam. Readers of Dutch might enjoy Truus’s Geen Tijd Voor Tranen, my primary source for trying to bring the spirit of this extraordinary real hero alive again. So Jane Austen fans will cheer! Truus’s Book The last allows me to end this page on a wedding. Here, I’d like to call out Truus’s book, a few particularly helpful books and films on the kindertransports, writings by people rescued in the effort, and a documentary that has an interesting relationship to Truus. I share many of my research resources for The Last Train to London in the acknowledgments at the back of the novel.
