		We see Germany before the war through a child's eyes: a prosperous nation of crowded shops and busy streets, filled with ice skating and merry-go-rounds, birthday parties and family outings.
		Miraculously preserved home movies--as well as newsreels, old photographs, and letters--accompany the recollections of the former Kinder, who recall their lives for writer/director Mark Jonathan Harris (whose earlier Holocaust-themed documentary, The Long Way Home, won an Academy Award).
		As the scenes of playful activities give way to Nazi flags and vandalized shops, the witnesses remember their homes' being invaded, their fathers' arrests, and their preparations for leaving for England.

		Like Melissa Hacker, who made MY KNEES WERE JUMPING: REMEMBERING THE KINDERTRANSPORTS (1998), producer Deborah Oppenheimer is the daughter of a kindertransport survivor.
		But while Hacker's approach was intensely personal and includes material dealing with the experiences of children of kindertransport survivors like herself, this film — directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Mark Jonathan Harris (THE LONG WAY HOME) and narrated by Judi Dench — keeps the focus firmly on the kinder, now in their 60s and 70s.
		From Lore Segal, who as a displaced ten-year-old acquired life-saving visas for her parents, to Alexander Gordon, who signed himself up for the program as a 16-year-old and experienced the worst of England's anti-refugee backlash, these stories are both informative and intensely moving.
