The kindertransport was a project by English authorities to bring Jewish children from Germany to England during the time the Nazis were gaining power. It ended when war broke out, but tens of thousand made it out. Interviews with the survivors, now elderly, tell the emotional stories of parting from the parents only never to see them again. Some found comfort with their new English families, others struggled. A very few were reunited with their parents at the end of the war, only to be strangers speaking different languages.
