Description
The story of 732 young Holocaust survivors who went to Britain in 1945. They were flown from Prague and Munich to Windermere and Southhampton, as well as to Scotland and Northern Ireland. They became a tightly-knit group of friends whose shared wartime experiences were terrible beyond imagining, but whose companionship gave them a lifeline once they were in England.
