"This yearbook spotlights the range of experiences of individuals and their families who sought a future in Britain from the early 1930s onwards. Not only are stories of some of their lives recounted, but also their contributions to the economic and social life of the host country, both before, during and after WWII, are clearly demonstrated, together with the part played in their experience by the British government of the time." – Ian Hoose, in: The International Journal for the History of Engineering & Technology (2026), pp. 1-3.
