Saving 50 Children From Nazis on Eve of War

The Holocaust is easily one of the most-well documented events in history, with hundreds of books and films detailing not only the suffering of millions, but also the many attempts made to rescue captives, including Kindertransport and Raoul Wallenbergâ??s efforts. A much less well-known story is that of Gil and Eleanor Kraus, a Jewish-American couple who entered Nazi Germany on the eve of war, rescued 50 Jewish children, and managed to bring them into America at a time where the U.S.â??s immigration laws were at their strictest. Steven Pressmanâ??s 50 Children documents the Krausâ?? mission and sheds light on this forgotten tale of courage. We talked with Pressman about the Krausâ??s heroic efforts and what would happen if there were another Holocaust today.
