Oscar-winning documentary about the Jewish children evacuated from Germany prior to the war, most of whom never saw their birth parents again. In the nine months from December 1938, ten thousand children gained refuge in Britain. This film, narrated by Judi Dench, looks at their journey out of Germany, the fate that awaited them and what eventually became of all these displaced German-Jewish children.
