Cloth. * The Virginia Resolutions were written by James Madison [1751-1836] and were adopted by the Virginia legislature in 1798. The Kentucky Resolutions were written by Thomas Jefferson [1743-1826] and Adopted by the Kentucky legislature in 1798. Both opposed the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts; and initiated a debate about the respective powers of the federal government and states. Their doctrines had a profound effect on the debates that led to the Civil War. Madison's Virginia Report was a resolution supporting freedom of the press. This edition collects these three works; and adds the texts of the Alien and Sedition acts; comments from other states and relevant extracts from Madison's letters.

FeitlerYou should read the book with the same title that served as a source for this movie.Both recall the experiences of several (distant) relatives and friends. They have also recommended this movie as very worthwhile viewing matter! But it is not easy watching and may leave a viewer very upset what these folks suffered after their arrival in the UK.; They were "farmed out" to various homes. Some were treated quite well; others - girls- had to act as maids and governesses for the family's children. Later on; some of them went to USA to start new lives again. But on the whole the very lives of these youngster were saved from the Holocaust. By the way; a number of these youngsters were also "weaned away" from their Jewish religion because of their new family's religious practices.Be sure to see this movie to learn some history that has remained almost completely hidden and neglectedMy personal experiences include the departure of some of these children to the UK; as well as to Palestine (now Israel). These youngsters were my own age! Many of them never saw their parents again.So therefore this represents a very special way to re-tell some my own eperiences ; but seen with diferent eyes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I think many people don't see these children as "survivors" because they didn't suffer the way those who lived in concentration camps did. However; to be an orphan; learning a new way of life; a new language; and all without your parent; is definitely compelling and worth telling.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and this book was enjoyed.By GigiI've read several books on the topic of the Kinder Transport. This really showed how one's life touch the lives of tens of thousands. The two men who spearheaded the project of this transport of 60;000 + children; were 25 and 32 years old. They wouldn't take no for an answer. One even gave up his freedom to make sure as many children as possible were able to leave the war-torn country. It's a remarkable chapter in history; and this book was enjoyed.
