Into the Arms of Strangers

Into the Arms of Strangers is about these old people and they were telling their stories during the Holocaust.They also said how Adolf Hitler first started to take control of Germany and then all the other countries.Adolf Hitler started to burn down synagogues,Jewish stores,and started arresting Jews and sending them to concentration camps.It was very devastating how Adolf Hitler trained his army to be cruel to Jewish people,and how they just treated them like animals.The Jewish people had to send their kids away because they didn't want them to get killed and the Nazis only allowed the kids to take certain amounts of items,they were not allowed to take personal items.The children were allowed to send letters to their parents while they were in their foster homes but England and Germany got in some fight and were at war with each other.So because of this all kinder transports and letters to anywhere out side of England had to stop.Then England made this alarm to warn the whole city that there was about to be a bombing so the children and the adults had to hide and put on gas masks.Then as the war progressed any refugees that were in England were sent to jail.There was this transportation boat called the HMT Dunera that took them to Australia.As this transport was on this journey a Nazi submarine spotted them and fired a torpedo but luckily it clipped the boat and it continued its journey to Australia.Anyone who wanted to move to England had to join the army.
