New Documentary Highlights the Journey of Kindertransport, including Kurt Herman
In 1939 Kurt Herman, along with 49 other children, 25 boys and 25 girls, were whisked away from Nazi Germany by Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus of Brith Sholom near Philadelphia, PA. 70 years later, a documentary, directed by Steven Pressman of California, is being made to honor and remember these children.
