Twelve days later, the British government implemented the Kindertransport plan, which allowed many children to leave the horrors of the Nazi regime and find temporary refuge within British families and hostels. By the time war was declared in September 1939, this brave undertaking had saved 10,000 lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInto the Arms of Strangers\u003c\/em\u003e, based on the Academy Award-winning feature documentary of the same name, reveals what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the Nazi threat, to escape danger and fear, but also to leave family and friends, perhaps forever. It is poignantly told in the words of those directly involved. It is both an astonishing insight into a remarkable moment of history and a timely reminder of how welcoming our country has been in the past to those who need welcome, shelter, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844152512748,"sku":"9781408892275","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/17033443482689.jpg?v=1758828626"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/deborah-oppenheimer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
