As conditions deteriorated in Germany in the 1930s, many Jews tried in vain to escape. But thanks to a British humanitarian effort, about ten thousand Jewish children from Germany and neighboring countries were relocated to live with families in the United Kingdom, while their parents stayed behind. This passage to freedom became known as Kindertransport, and is the title of Diane Samuels’ play about families, secrets, and survival.
This audio edition includes a conversation with Kindertransport survivor Hilda Fogelson. An LA Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Jane Kaczmarek, Hugo Armstrong, Shannon Lee Clair, Angela Paton, Molly Quinn, and Susan Sullivan. Directed by Jeanie Hackett. Recorded by LA Theatre Works before a live audience.
