Escape to Budapest
(Jerusalem Post) Barry Davis - Tales of miraculous escapes during the Holocaust continue to emerge. Dutch-born Jerusalem filmmaker Willy Lindwer's documentary, "The Train Journey," tells the story of 89 Jews who were living in the Netherlands prior to and during WWII and were allowed to leave Nazi-controlled Holland for Budapest between March and October 1943, thanks to their Hungarian roots. Remarkably, 73 survived the Holocaust, and Lindwer's documentary features four of the survivors.
