I live in Australia and so cant get to your lectures . I wonder though if you have more information about these children and what happened to them than you did when the book came out . I would love some way of seeing it if you have .
My husbands family all lived in the area around Cutler street and harrow Alley before coming to Australia in the early 1900.s so see where they lived and what life was like is just so moving .Also with rising levels of social inequality all over the world it is a big reminder of the need to pay our taxes and to work for a more equal society . Horace was a good man and a very handsome one too.

When we visited the Van Gogh Museum, it was easy to become overstimulated by his
legendary familiar works. Yet it was his painting of empty shoes that has stayed with me, years later. And The Holocaust Museum in Washington DC has an exhibit that consists of a plexiglass vitrine full of hundreds of worn shoes. Each one a story. Unforgettable.
We can only imagine these young lives revealed in Mr. Warner’s photos, and be grateful for his diligence and dedication to chronicling their world.

Thank you for shining a light, GA.
