This is a series of stories told by children who escaped the Holocaust on the Kindertransport. Bravely leaving behind their families and trying to acclimate themselves to a new culture, new country, new lifestyle and new climate, in a small window of time, the lives of 10,000 children were saved.

Heroically, England opened their doors to save the lives of many.

Each story chronicles the thoughts and feelings of the individuals. The story is followed by a description of the lives years later after they were saved.
