Safe Passage

By Nick Royal, Santa Cruz, Calif. / November 18, 2009



Safe Passage by Ida Cook, was originally published in 1950 as "We Followed Our Stars".  It's been republished in 2008 by Harlequin Book  under the new title. A wonderful story of the Cook  sisters. of Great Britain, who fell in love with opera and the stars of opera in the  1920s.  During the 1930s, while following opera stars and their  productions in Europe, the Cook sisters got recruited to help get  Jewish families out of Germany, Austria, and several in Poland.  An  amazing story about music and courage during the 1930s and WWII.
