Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport (DVD, 2001)

A documentary of human drama played out during the ramp-up to WWII, this is a riveting tale of survival. The story of a Nazi good-will propoganda campaign after Kristalnacht (spelling?), the Kindertransport relocated Jewish Children to any country willing to accept them. England alone allowed these innocents access to her shores (shame on the USA and others.) The telling of families being separated, reconfigured with new additions, and sometimes reunited is heartwarming. Children coped with being separated from their parents, the orphanage and adoption process, adjusting to a new family situation (sometimes more than once), and the anxiety of what would happen to their parents. A couple of these children joined the military to fight Naziism, one young man was reunited with his parents after the war, one girl actually found work and arranged passage for her parents out of Nazi-occupied territory. Really worth watching, especially if you're a WWII history addict. A harbinger of things to come?
