Winner of the 2018 Costa Book of the Year Award, The Cut Out Girl is Bart van Es' deeply moving and gripping history of WWII's hidden children.
Described as the 'gem of the year' by the judges, The Cut Out Girl tells the extraordinary real story of Lien de Jong, who was hidden from the Nazis in the homes of an underground network of foster families (including Bart's grandparents) in the Netherlands. Her parents didn't survive Auschwitz.
Bart joins the ABC's Sarah Kanowski to us to discuss his profound investigation into the fate of the Jewish children his Dutch resistance grandparents sheltered, and their post-war estrangement from one, Lien.
Through the creation of this award-winning book, Bart's and the now 85-year-old Lien's lives were transformed by an experience that tells us that our most painful experiences - so crucial in defining us - can also be redefined.
