A child in war-torn Europe, Amelie Munk fled for her life with her mother, grandmother and younger siblings on a packed train from Paris bound for the south of France. In unfamiliar territory near Toulouse Amelie was told to find a bike and seek out her father, Rabbi Elie Munk, who had joined the Foreign Legion. Yet as the threat to Jews grew daily more ominous, the Munks became a Jewish Swiss Family Robinson, winning love and admiration for their quiet courage, intrepid humour and rich philosophical optimism. Yet the coup de grace came when - minutes from Switzerland and safety - the cries of her baby brother alerted the border guards to the presence of the terrified Jewish family.
