Into the arms of strangers

Into the arms of strangers

Description: "For nine months prior to World War Two, Britain conducted an extraordinary rescue mission, opening its doors to 10,000 children at risk from the Nazi regime - ninety per cent of them Jewish - from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia. These children were brought by train and boat from the continent and taken into foster homes and hostels in Britain, expecting eventually to be re-united with their parents. Most of them never saw their families again.

Into the Arms of Strangers recounts the remarkable operation, known as the Kindertransport, and its dramatic impact on the lives of the children who were saved. Told in the words of the survivors, rescuers, parents and foster-parents, these stories show, in harrowing detail, the terrorism of the Nazis.
Mark Jonathan Harris and Deborah Oppenheimer's film of the same name is currently on general release."
