Seeking Safety

by Judith Eichler Weber, John E. Martin (Illustrator)

Overview

During WW11 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt offered 982 refugees and opportunity to spend the remainder of the war at Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York. "Seeking Safety" tells the story of ten year old Lillian and her mother, refugees from Yugoslavia, who journey to the safe haven.
Lillian attends the local Oswego elementary school and develops friendships, but must return each day to the confines of the Fort. When the war is over, the refugees fear returning to their country of origin.
