„Wenn etwas nicht unmöglich ist, dann muss es einen Weg geben!“ Mit dieser Lebenseinstellung schrieb Sir Nicholas ‚Nicky‘ Winton (Anthony Hopkins) Geschichte, als er in einem Wettlauf gegen die Zeit kurz vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs 669 Kinder vor den Nazis rettete: Dezember 1938. Der junge Londoner Börsenmakler Nicholas Winton (Johnny Flynn) erfährt über einen Freund von den entsetzlichen Zuständen in den tschechischen Flüchtlingslagern. Kurzentschlossen fährt er nach Prag und erlebt aus erster Hand, wie jüdische Familien auf der Flucht vor Verfolgung ohne Obdach und Essen ihrem Schicksal ausgeliefert sind. Bestürzt entwickelt er einen waghalsigen Plan. Und so beginnt mit Unterstützung seiner tatkräftigen Mutter (Helena Bonham Carter) in London und einer Hilfsorganisation vor Ort eine beispiellose Rettungsaktion – immer bedroht von der nahenden Invasion der Faschisten. Wie viele Kinder können sie retten, bevor die Grenzen geschlossen werden?

Not just another documentary on the French resistance movement, this film focuses on one particular group of underground fighters in France: those from Eastern Europe. Many were Jews and all had fled their native countries before the war broke out. They were among the most staunch and fearless enemies of fascism, as shown here in personal interviews and memoirs of war-time experiences. But the most famous of these immigrants were 23 who were rounded up among several hundred Parisians in 1943, tried for their activities, and executed -- all were immigrants under the leadership of the Armenian poet Manouchian. After their execution, Paris was papered with posters decrying these 23 martyrs as "foreign communists."

Es war die wohl mörderischste Konferenz in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Das Thema: Planungen zur Ermordung von 11 Millionen Juden in Europa. Die Teilnehmer waren keine Psychopathen, sondern gebildete Männer, aus SS, Polizei, Verwaltung und Ministerien. Die Einladung zur Besprechung am Wannsee kam von Reinhard Heydrich, Chef des Reichssicherheitshauptamtes. Die Eroberungsfeldzüge der Wehrmacht in Osteuropa bildeten den Auftakt für die systematische Ermordung der Juden in Polen und der Sowjetunion. Mitte September 1941 traf Hitler die Entscheidung, alle Juden aus Deutschland in Richtung Osten zu deportieren. Zwar hatte es zuvor bereits Transporte gegeben, doch stellte Hitlers Befehl eine weitere Eskalationsstufe im mörderischen Entscheidungsprozess dar. Verfolgung und Diskrimierung waren seit 1933 Alltag. Doch dadurch verschärften sich für die Juden im Dritten Reich die Lebensbedingungen weiter, unter ihnen die 1921 geborenen Berliner Jüdin Margot Friedländer und die Familie Chotzen.
