Book Talk – In Conversation Event: The Boy with the Knapsack – An Extraordinary Life, from the Kinder transport to the House of Lords. A Memoir by Lord Alf Dubs
Lord Alf Dubs, who is one of the ICC’s most honourable patrons, will be in-conversation with award winning journalist Dorothy Allen
Lord Alf Dubs was one of the Czech children rescued from the Nazis in the Kindertransport, former MP for Battersea and today is one of the UK’s leading campaigners for human rights and justice and for the plight of Refugees.
Come along to hear Lord Dubs talk about his new memoir, The Boy with the Knapsack, which is also a fascinating first-hand account of Britain over the last eight decades, and a timely reminder of the values of decency and humanity that unite us.
‘His personal journey, from a child refugee to a tireless champion for human rights, offers inspiration to us all.’ Andrew Copson, Chief Executive of Humanists UK
Following this event Lord Alf Dubs will do a Book Signing.
