The Children’s Crusade is a long narrative poem written by the famous German playwright Bertolt Brecht. The story recounts the exodus of a group of young Germans, Poles and Jews as they encounter one another in a ruined village in Poland after fleeing the war in 1939.

The vital force of the poem is still vibrant. Carme Solé has contributed some splendid illustrations that reflect the atmosphere of the horror of war and its denunciation.
