A história verídica de Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton, um jovem corretor da bolsa londrino que, juntamente com Trevor Chadwick e Doreen Warriner do Comité Britânico para os Refugiados na Checoslováquia, resgatou 669 crianças aos nazis nos meses que antecederam a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nicky visitou Praga em dezembro de 1938 e encontrou famílias que tinham fugido à ascensão dos nazis ao poder na Alemanha e na Áustria e que viviam em condições desesperadas, com falta de abrigo e comida. Cinquenta anos depois, em 1988, Nicky vive assombrado pelo destino das crianças que não conseguiu levar para Inglaterra, culpando-se sempre por não ter feito mais.
An astounding exposé that gives voice to the unwitting subjects of an infamous American scientific experiment: the 1960s Neubauer-Bernard study of separated twins. Told from the perspective of the Jewish identical twins and triplets who were secretly split up in infancy and adopted through Louise Wise Services, a Jewish adoption agency, the documentary examines the traumatic, long-term effects of the separations — and continuing deception — on the children and their adoptive families.
In August 1942, during the Second World War, Six Jewish children are trying to escape the Nazis. They are hidden by the resistance in the Chambord Castle, where paintings from Le Louvre are being stored as well. The Nazis are looking for paintings from private collections that would be hidden there as well.
A gripping documentary about the courage and determination of a young English stockbroker who saved the lives of 669 children. Between March 13 and August 2, 1939, Nicholas Winton organized 8 transports to take children from Prague to new homes in Great Britain, and kept quiet about it until his wife discovered a scrapbook documenting his unique mission in 1988. Winton was a successful 29-year-old stockbroker in London who "had an intuition" about the fate of the Jews when he visited Prague in 1939. He quietly but decisively got down to the business of saving lives. We learn how only two countries, Sweden and Britain, answered his call to harbor the young refugees; how documents had to be forged and how once foster parents signed for the children on delivery, that was the last he saw of them.
Silent archival footage of Jewish children during the Holocaust, accompanied by music and poetic narration. A haunting portrait of a future generation lost to cruelty and genocide.
