When much of the world
closed its eyes to the
terrors of Nazi Germany,
one American couple
risked everything to
save Jewish children
from an unimaginable
fate.

50 CHILDREN: THE RESCUE
MISSION OF MR. & MRS.
KRAUS tells the
dramatic, previously
untold story of Gilbert
and Eleanor Kraus, a
Jewish couple from
Philadelphia who
followed their
conscience, traveling to
Nazi-controlled Vienna
in spring 1939 to save a
group of children.
Amidst the impending
horrors of the
Holocaust, they put
themselves in harm's way
to bring what would
become the single
largest-known group of
children allowed into
the U.S. during that
time. Narrated by Alan
Alda, with Mamie Gummer
reading from the memoir
of Mrs. Kraus, a part of
the United States
Holocaust Memorial
Museum's permanent
collection, this
inspiring documentary is
also co-presented by
the Museum.
