Hugo Gryn, with Naomi Gryn, Chasing Shadows (Penguin, 2001) 

Hugo Gryn arrived in the UK with the third group of the Boys. He went on to become a leading British Reform rabbi, a national broadcaster and a leading voice in interfaith dialogue.

In this intimate and often humorous portrait, published posthumously, Gryn describes his idyllic childhood in the once vibrant and tight-knit Jewish community of the Carpathian Mountains, and the aftermath of Nazi-occupation as his family is forced into the Ghetto and then transported to Auschwitz.
