KINDERTRANSPORT

BBC SCOTLAND, 1998

In 1938, following the horrors of Kristallnacht, the British government agreed to accept 10,000 unaccompanied Jewish children escaping the Nazi regime. Many of these children went to Scotland where they were placed with families, or for older children, put into work.

This documentary recounts the stories of seven of those children - the memories of their lives in Nazi Germany, the trauma of leaving their parents, living through the war in Scotland, and of discovering the fate of their families.

Directed by Fran Robertson & Kevin Macdonald
