Based on historical events, KINDERTRANSPORT is the story of Eva Schlesinger, put on a train in 1938 as a seven-year old and carried away with other Jewish children from Nazi Germany in a little-known rescue operation called the "Kindertransport." More than four decades later, she has become a quintessential Englishwoman who hides her origins from everyone, including her own daughter. In KINDERTRANSPORT, we see her past and present collide.

As her grown daughter questions her, a shattering truth emerges about Eva's identity, the true cost of survival, and the future that grows out of a traumatized past. A stunning dramatic creation, KINDERTRANSPORT transcends time, religion and country to engage audiences with universal themes. The characters struggle with the conflicts between individual needs and family ties; personal truth and historical lies; and tradition versus survival in the present.
