Conversations in Jewish Learning: The Children’s Odyssey 
The compelling film The Children’s Odyssey tells the moving story of a group of Polish Jewish children, mostly orphans, who had a long, harrowing escape from German-occupied Poland in World War II. They found temporary refuge in orphanages and shelters in the Soviet Union, were later evacuated with several hundred adults to Tehran, and ultimately reached British-ruled Palestine in 1943. Joe Rosenbaum, one of the “Tehran children”, will provide background information and answer your questions.
