Movie Reviews of Into The Arms Of Strangers - Stories Of The Kindertransport
Movie Review: Thanking N.Chamberlain
Summary: 4 Stars
It is an interesting doco of not much known history of Czechoslovakian Holocaust survivors saved by the British-arranged refugee-train for Jewish kids under seventeen years old.
Not much might be found of no discriminatorily allowing dozens of thousands of European Jews in the USSR by opening borders after Hitler's occupation of Poland.
Summary of Into The Arms Of Strangers - Stories Of The Kindertransport
The life-affirming tale of 10000 children saved from hitlers grasp and placed with foster parents and hostels in great britain at the outbreak of world war ii. Filled with spellbinding never-before-seen archival footage and the decades-later remembrance of both the rescuers and the rescued. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 03/29/2005 Starring: Narrated By Dame Judi Dench Run time: 122 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Mark Jonathan HarrisThis Academy Award?-winning documentary (produced with the cooperation of the United States Holocaust Museum) chronicles one of the lesser-known stories of the Holocaust: that of the kindertransport, which saved the lives of 10,000 Jewish children. In the late 1930s, England agreed to accept these children seeking refuge from Nazi oppression. They were placed in foster homes and hostels. Narrated by Dame Judi Dench and directed by Mark Jonathan Harris (who received an Oscar? for his 1997 Holocaust documentary The Long Way Home), this devastating and deeply moving film bears witness to the kindness of these "simply wonderful people" and to the resilience of the kinder, now elderly, who recall in haunting stories the unimaginable grief of being suddenly torn from their parents, the trauma of not knowing whether they would ever see them again, and the difficulties some faced in their new homes. Recalls one, "None of the foster parents with whom I stayed could stand me for very long. But all of them had the grace to take in a Jewish child." But despite having their youth uprooted, many possess an indomitable spirit. One woman speaks of devoting her adult life to human rights and social justice causes. "I can't pay back or thank some of the people who helped me," she states, "But I can do something for other people." --Donald Liebenson
