      Movie Info

      For nine months prior to World War II, in an act of mercy unequalled anywhere else before the war, Britain conducted an extraordinary rescue mission, opening its doors to over 10,000 Jewish and other children from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. These children, or Kinder (sing. Kind), as they came to be known, were taken into foster homes and hostels in Britain, expecting eventually to be reunited with their parents. The majority of them never saw their families again.

      Audience Reviews for Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport

      • Jun 28, 2013
        A well laid out documentary that is aided tremendously by the heart felt stories that we hear from children who never ended up going home. Very moving.

        Nearly 1,500,000 children were killed in the holocaust. These are the first hand accounts of a few that survived thanks to an English refugee program known as the Kindertransport. A fascinating but incredibly sad documentary that chronicles yet another segment of Hitler's horrific legacy.

        A must see documentary about children who escaped the Holocaust.

        a documentary narrated by judi dench and told by a select few of the now elderly whom were children during the kindertransport times of world war 2. very miserable and dis-heartening at times when you get to hear about what went on in germany and the countries surrounding that the nazi regeime took control of, but also on the plus side there are some heart-warming stories of how the british public took these children in and looked after them as the british government was the only country in europe to relax its laws on immigration at the time
