What do a 75-year-old Los Angeles based rocket engineer and an eleven-year-old schoolgirl from Austria have in common? Not much at first glance, but Arthur and Lilly influenced each others lives in a fateful way.
In 1939, Arthurs Jewish parents sent their son abroad on a so-called Kindertransport (childrens transport), hoping to save him from the Holocaust.
The separation is a traumatic experience for the ten-year-old. Although he is rescued from Austria via France to the United States his family is murdered by the Nazis. He never sees them again.
Sixty-five years later: During a visit to his parents former apartment in Vienna, Austria, Arthur Kern meets eleven-year-old Lilly Maier.
A decisive encounter for both of them, which not only shapes Lillys further life but also leads to Arthur receiving a long-lost legacy from his parents.
A moving tale of two lives that fatefully cross paths, and an immensely knowledgeable insight into an unknown Holocaust story: the rescue of hundreds of Jewish children to America on a Kindertransport.
