- The plight of Jews desperate to flee Nazi oppression inspired Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus, a Jewish couple from Philadelphia, to take action.
At great personal risk, the couple traveled to Nazi-controlled Vienna to rescue 50 Jewish children in spring 1939-just months before the start of World War II. Upon arriving, they faced the heartbreaking challenge of choosing which children could withstand leaving their parents and immigrating to the United States with strangers.

I live at the former camp in Collegeville PA. now is turned to townhomes. A few remnants of the former camp still exist. Remarkable place in history.
I grew up in Collegeville and am wondering where this is.

Thank you, Eleanor and Gilbert so much for sharing with me your altruistic odyssey due to an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen.
It must have been a painful odyssey to recollect such memories and to recount them; they only echo the evilness of Hitler and his followers.
The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality.
In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises:
"He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war."
My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness.
Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind.
The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.
wow, amazing!!
