Unknown Children

Unknown Children
(Onbekende Kinderen)
A documentary about the children who survived Westerbork Camp (in the east of the Netherlands) and two other concentration camps.

On 13 September 1944, 52 toddlers of the Westerbork orphanage were transported to Bergen-Belsen. Because their identity was not known, they were registered in the camp records as 'Gruppe Unbekannte Kinder' (Unknown Children).
All but one they survived Bergen-Belsen and Theresienstadt and in the summer of 1945 they returned to the Netherlands. Because of their age they were unable to reconstruct the things they had been through. As a result nobody paid any attention to their experiences.

This documentary is about not being aware of what has happened to you. Eight Unknown Children are still looking for information; they describe snippets of the things they recollect of the time they lived in concentration camps. They also talk about the way their lives has been influenced by World War II.
