The plight of Jews desperate to flee Nazi oppression inspired Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus, a Jewish couple from Philadelphia, to take action.
At great personal risk, the couple traveled to Nazi-controlled Vienna to rescue 50 Jewish children in spring 1939-just months before the start of World War II. Upon arriving, they faced the heartbreaking challenge of choosing which children could withstand leaving their parents and immigrating to the United States with strangers.
