In the months leading up to World War II, approximately 10.000 Jewish children were evacuated from the Third Reich to Great Britain as part of the Kindertransport operation. Four of those former child refugees - now aged 83 to 91 - are embarking on a two-week journey, tracing the route they took many decades earlier. Back then, they left their parents, homes, and everything they had known, unaware that their escape was saving their lives. One of them was the director's mother.
