Arthur and Lilly: The Girl and the Holocaust Survivor

What do a 75-year-old Los Angeles based rocket engineer and an eleven-year-old schoolgirl from Austria have in common?

Not much at first glance, but Arthur and Lilly influenced each other's lives in a fateful way.In 1939, Arthur's Jewish parents sent their son abroad on a so-called Kindertransport ("children's transport"), hoping to save him from the Holocaust.

The separation is a traumatic experience for the ten-year-old.

Although he is rescued - from Austria via France to the United States - his family is murdered by the Nazis.

He never sees them again.Sixty-five years later: During a visit to his parents' former apartment in Vienna, Austria, Arthur Kern meets eleven-year-old Lilly Maier.

A decisive encounter for both of them, which not only shapes Lilly's further life but also leads to Arthur receiving a long-lost legacy from his parents.A moving tale of two lives that fatefully cross paths, and an immensely knowledgeable insight into an unknown Holocaust story: the rescue of hundreds of Jewish children to America on a Kindertransport.
