The Jewish family of Aimée Stitelmann established herself in Geneva before the war. As a teenager she helped a score of Jewish children to cross the Swiss-French border. In this documentary we find her in the various secret locations as she recalls her adventures of how she passed children under the noses and beards of custom officers, and soldiers alike. Often at great risk to her own life. Until, the day she was arrested, and imprisoned for 15 days.
