Truus' Children

Truus' Children

Before and during WWII, the little-known Dutch war hero Truus Wijsmuller saved the lives of thousands of Jewish children. She was a woman so convinced of her mission that she flew to Vienna to negotiate a deal with Adolf Eichmann to let 10,000 mostly Jewish children leave their birth countries and flee to England and the Netherlands.

Featuring interviews with the surviving children, alongside an original recording of Truus Wijsmuller, Truus’ Children is a moving documentary that pays tribute to the bravery of a single extraordinary woman.
