Synopsis
They were far too young for what they witnessed, too young for what theysuffered and for what they had to do. No one had prepared them for nights
spent in air raid shelters, days in trenches, for the terror of deportation,
forced labour, evacuation, starvation and - death. They lied, stole, begged
and killed.
‘Children of the War’ reconstructs the trauma of an entire generation, told
exclusively from the children’s viewpoint. This four-part documentary gives
a first-hand account of the horrors suffered by children in Germany, Poland,
France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union during WW II. Their terrifying
experiences and unbelievable survival strategies have changed these children
forever - formative experiences which 70 years later need to be told and
preserved in the memory of mankind.
