The story began with Lisa on the bus, going to piano practice. She notices that the bus driver is not calling the streets by their Jewish names but by other names given by the Nazi (Germans who had recently marched in and taken over Austria).
Lisa went to the Professor for piano practice where he had a guard posted outside his home.After piano practice, she was informed that it was her last practice with the professor. She went home disappointed and her family tried to console her.
Not long after, her dad, a tailor had to put a sign in the window saying he was a Jewish business and the people were not allowed to use the services of Jewish businesses. They had the "Night of the Broken Glass" when the storm troopers came into the Jewish areas and broke all the windows and lamps in the villages. The men were forced to scrub the street in order to humiliate them. Her sister, Sonia was isolated at school because the other children were not allowed to be with the Jewish children. Lisa was a child prodigy in her neighborhood. Everyone loved her music and was proud. In fear for their children, her parents were able to get her signed up for the Kindertransport- a rescue effort that transported the children by train to England.
When Lisa arrived in England she was placed with the children of Willesden Lane. She then started to search for a sponsor for Sonia her sister. Sonia received a sponsor and went to live with a family in England. As the Germans were bombing England everyday in order to take it over, as they had done other countries, Sonia couldn't visit very often because of the danger it posed. After all this, she received a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. She received a new job at the Howard Hotel, after working at the factory. The music she played was entertaining to the soldiers.

When Germans took over the city of Vienna, they start to change street names and the soldiers pull out the Jews from their homes. Lisa was surprised to notice this as she was on her way to the piano lesson. When she arrived she noticed that her teacher was sad. He was sad because he can’t teach Lisa piano lesson anymore, because she was Jewish and he was not. It was a crime to teach a Jewish child. It was also a crime to do business with the Jewish people. Jews could only go to the Jew business with sign that said Jewish only. So, Lisa’s father now has less business. They struggled and worried about the future. On the event was the Night of Broken Glass. This made Lisa’s parents decided to send Lisa to the Kindertransport to London. Her father gambled a ticket to the kindertransport to London, they where thinking if they send Rosie, Sonia or Lisa. They decide to send Lisa. Her family when to her room to help her to pack her things and one by one leave the room, Lisa was picturing everything before she leave, so she could have the same memories when the family got together again. The Jews were not allowed on the streets at night or in a movie theatres, concerts halls, or most other public places. Lisa got a sponsor from London and worked in a Captain's house. She left the house because she wasn’t happy there, and because she ask if they can sponsor her sister Sonia, the only thing she have in mind is to find an sponsor to bring her little sister from Vienna to London. they toll her they can’t. She want to be with people like her. When Lisa got back to London she was send to the hostal at 243 Wellesden Lane. She found a job at textile sawing company, she was thinking to save money to bring her little sister, Sonia to England with her. Sonia received a sponsor and went to live with a family in England. As the Germans where bombing England every day in order to take it over, as they had done other countries, Sonia couldn’t visit very often because of the danger it posed.

They were affected, because the family was separated and Lisa was not going to be able to anymore of her piano lessons. Every one talked about the train with the name kindertransport.The parents of Lisa decided send Lisa to England with some relatives of her father. They had only one opportunity because they had only one ticket. Later Lisa talked with Mrs. Cohen about her sister. Their neighbor, helped Lisa because she found sponsors for Sonia. One day Mrs. Cohen call Lisa,"Miss Jura, will you come with me to my room?" She gave a good notice to Lisa that Sonia, her sister, was due to arrive on the 3: 22 train at the Liverpool station. Lisa was very gratefully for her.
Lisa located the volunteers from Bloomsbury House. They helped her to find Mr. And Mrs. Bates from Norwich, the sponsors of Sonia. The waiting was an agony for Lisa.but finally children began to emerge from the kindertransport. For long moment they held each other, and it almost seemed she was home in Vienna again.Lisa was desperate to make good use of every second of the thirty minutes they had together.they went to the First Class Cafe of the station.for a private reunion. Sonia brought a letter from her mother,she read: "Your father and I are so comforted to know that you and Sonia are both at last safe in England. After thirty minutes passed, Mr and Mrs Bates returned for Sonia who clung to her older sister,too frightened and emotional to respond in words. "I promise! Sonia, "Lisa cried, "You'll come to London with me.

By: ELSA
Everything began when Lisa was going on the bus to do her normal piano practices. Something unusual was happening, first the driver was calling the name of the streets by Nazi names,. When Lisa arrived at the place where she has had her usual piano practices, she saw a guard in front of the house of her professor. When she ended her practice the professor told her that he couldn't teach her anymore because it has been prohibited; it was so hard for Lisa.
Lisa's dad had to show people that his business was Jewish , with it, came many problems to the family. Sometime after that Lisa traveled to England and she was living with the children of Willesden Lane. The first thing that Lisa did was to search for a sponsor for Sonya her sister. Finally she founded it and Sonya went to live with a family in Northern England.
During this time many terrible things happened between this countries they were bombed, so Lisa couldn't visit her sister Sonia because it was too dangerous for everyone in Englamd..
