Based on the true story of her mother, Mona Golabek describes the inspirational story of Lisa Jura Golabek's escape from Nazi-controlled Austria to England on the famed Kindertransport. Jewish musical prodigy Lisa Jura has a wonderful life in Vienna. But when the Nazis start closing in on the city, life changes irreversibly. Although he has three daughters, Lisa's father is only able to secure one berth on the Kindertransport. The family decides to send Lisa to London so that she may pursue her dreams of a career as a concert pianist. Separated from her beloved family, Lisa bravely endures the trip and a disastrous posting outside London before finding her way to the Willesden Lane Orphanage.

It is in this orphanage that Lisa's story truly comes to life. Her music inspires the other orphanage children, and they, in turn, cheer her on in her efforts to make good on her promise to her family to realize her musical potential. Through hard work and sheer pluck, Lisa wins a scholarship to study piano at the Royal Academy. As she supports herself and studies, she makes a new life for herself and dreams of reconnecting with the family she was forced to leave behind. The resulting tale delivers a message of the power of music to uplift the human spirit and to grant the individual soul endurance, patience, and peace.

Love, love, love this cream
I was recently diagnosed with stasis dermatitis (closely related to Lymphedema.). I have to keep my skin well hydrated. This cream has done wonders and is absolutely great for skin hydration. It’s smooth, smells absolutely fresh and clean, and soaks right into my skin. I use it 3x a day. Only thing is, once or twice it was unavailable from the vender. I bought 2 when it was available again. I like it better than the regular Nivea cream.

Will definitely buy again
This Nivea lotion is great! It feels good and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling and is super easy to use without the pump bottle where half the product gets stuck inside. I love the aloe Vera smell as well.

Not a pleasant smell, but old ladies will probably like it specifically masks
Mother in law seems to love it and asks to buy it regularly. Must be typical old lady cream because I personally can’t stand the smell especially when she packs it on. Seller Lucky Deals is always safe to buy from and I’ve never had a problem in the several times I’ve bought this item from them.
