Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport

Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport was the winner of the Academy Award for best Documentary Feature in 2000. It tells the remarkable story of a mission by Britain to save 10,000 Jewish children during the second world war. The mission was given the title "Kindertransport" as children caught up in Nazi Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia were rescued and transported to the United Kingdom and placed in foster homes.

The film is brilliantly narrated by Judi Dench and features interviews with Children that were saved, Brits that fostered Jewish children, rescuers and the parents of children that had to be taken from them for their safety.While the plan was to reunite the children with their parents after the war many would never see their familys again.So many World War 2 stories go untold Mission Kindertransport is another that took over 50 years to be told.
