Wherever they wandered, their lives hung in the balance: in Nazi-occupied France, in Vinchy France, in detention camps, at border crossing, in trains under Nazi noses. Time after time their prayers were answered and avenues of escape appeared from onwere - until finally they found refuge and were reunited with their family.
