Ce film est l'histoire de quatre femmes exceptionnelles, résistantes, prisonnières, idéalistes qui à la fin de leurs adolescences risquèrent leurs vies pour combattre l'occupant nazi. Ni juives, ni communistes, elles rejoignirent la résistance alors qu'elles auraient pu tranquillement vivre en sécurité. Dans les deux ans qui suivirent, elles furent arrêtées par la Gestapo et déportées à Buchenwald. Aujourd'hui elles sont devenues des leaders sociaux ou intellectuels.

Quelques mois avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, une extraordinaire opération de sauvetage a arraché 10 000 enfants et adolescents juifs au régime nazi. Rapatriés en Grande-Bretagne pour être adoptés, ils durent tisser de nouveaux liens familiaux, supporter les bombardements pour certains, aller libérer leurs propres parents restés en Allemagne. Ils ont tous d'inoubliables histoires à raconter dans ce documentaire.
