Plot Synopsis
Over 1.5 million children perished in the Holocaust, but unbelievably, a few thousand children survived in hiding. This is their story.
Now, as adults, they talk about living alone, often in dark terrifying places or constantly on the run, scavenging for food. As children, aged between six and fifteen, often without their parents, they were forced to hide in sewers, holes in the ground, cupboards or caves for up to two years. They talk about the terrible conditions and the fear of being found and shot, and the bravery of those friends and strangers who risked death to save their lives. This is a story of courage and triumph.
