A profoundly moving documentary of the evacuation of 10,000 children, predominantly Jewish, from Europe on the eve of the outbreak of WWII. The children were evacuated from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and other areas already under Nazi domination and transported to England, that most unlikely of havens. Most of these children lost their entire families in the Holocaust. A few were reunited with their parents after the war. All suffered profound dislocation; yet, those who are interviewed here clearly prevailed. This film is at once a testament to man's inhumanity and to his/her indomitable spirit.
