about

all titles are taken from the testimony of eye witnesses (often the children) impacted by war.

track one contains a quote from a someone brought to europe in the kindertransport, track two is the term nazi guards used to describe children, track three is a quote from a child from Congo, track four a child who fought in the american civil war, track five a teacher watching children being evacuated to the countryside during ww2 and the final is taken from an eye witness who saw that happened when they arrived at their destination.

for victims of conflict everywhere, especially for the children.

this was released as a tour only CDr limited to ten copies.
