Amid the constant rain of German bombs and the escalating violence of World War II, British parents by the thousands chose to send their children out of the country: the wealthy, independently; the poor, through a government relocation program called CORB. In September 1940, the passenger liner SS <i>City of Benares</i> set out in a convoy of nineteen ships sailing for Canada. On board were ninety CORB children, chaperones, and crew, along with paying passengers. When the warships escorting the <i>Benares</i> to safe waters peeled off and the way forward seemed certain, a German submarine attacked and torpedoed the <i>Benares</i>. What followed is an amazing example of all that people are capable of—the worst and the best.
