Into the Arms of Strangers was produced with the help of the Holocaust Museum in Washington.
I watched this last night and it was very moving. Especially as a parent. It wasn't graphic like a lot of movies on the holocaust. A very simple look at the wonderful things the British did to save children in Germany, and an honest and not overly dramatic at the not-so-wonderful things.
It showed how hard it was on the children who were sent away, and on the families that took them in. And something I hadn't thought of, how hard it was to go back to your real family, if they were lucky enough to survive. After 6 years in england, they often didn't speak german anymore and weren't the little children that were given up.

My daughter had questions about the children taking the train to the country in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I think I'm going to show her this movie to help answer some of those.
