In an attempt to annihilate the Jews, the German government cultivated an act of extreme violence-burning down synagogues, and attacking Jewish schools, cemeteries, and stores- called Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass. Determined to get away from Hitler's clutches, Margot Pins-Kestenbaum and Max Weissler, together with their families, braved the seas in hopes of rebuilding their lives in the Philippines. Looking back on their journey, Margot and Max share their struggles fleeing to Manila and the joy they felt finding home in a foreign land- until the Japanese occupation in 1940. (Source: IMDb)
