Kurt has to make sure the lamps are turned on at their very Orthodox neighbours' each Friday night – the Sabbath preventing them for using anything nearly as mechanical and workmanlike as a light switch. But this is the time just before the Austrian leader is going to cave to Hitler's will, and instead of having a national vote to keep the Nazis out, invite them in with open arms. ''Kristallnacht'' happened in Vienna just as much as in Germany, as did all the round-ups of Jews. These in their turn leave the younger Kurt at home with his mother and sisters anxious to hear word of an evacuation to Britain or the US, while Fritz and his father are, unknown initially to each other, packed off on the same train to Buchenwald and the stone quarry there.

I didn't know this either! I think most parents are aware that giving your children a good start in literacy - reading stories, teaching pen grips, singing rhymes - gives children a solid foundation when they start school.

Most of us use maths in daily life without realising and it follows that giving our children a similar pre-school grounding will be just as beneficial.}} {{newreviewFrontpage|isbn=1406395404|title=Bones RockThe Awesome Power of Sleep: How Sleep Super-Charges Your Teenage Brain|author=Peter L Larson and Kristin DonnanNicola Morgan
