Violet Bonham Carter. Child Victims of the New Germany: A Protest (London: McCorquodale, 1934)

"From a speech delivered in London on December 20th, 1933." Includes appendix: Jewish children in Germany: A dossier of cruelties and humilitations.

Violet Bonham Carter (1887-1969) - The daughter of H. H. Asquith, Prime Minister from 1908–1916, was a British politician and diarist. Along with Winston Churchill (and others), she very early on saw the dangers of European fascism. In seeking to awaken Britain and the world to the fascist peril, she joined and animated a number of anti-fascist groups (such as The Focus Group), often in concert with Churchill, and spoke at many of their gatherings. On one of these occasions she offered one of the earliest denunciations of the persecution of children in Nazi Germany.
