The Train Journey

A Documentary film by Willy Lindwer. The Train Journey tells the unusual and unbenounced story of five train journeys made by 89 Hungarian Jews and their Dutch families from occupied Holland to as yet unoccupied Budapest. After the Nazi invasion of Hungary in 1944, most of these Jews escaped deportation thanks in part to the courageous intervention by the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallendberg. The majority of the survivors returned safely to Holland after the war.
