De Treinreis plot

The miraculous escape of 89 Jews and their families from the occupied Netherlands. The unknown story of five train journeys in 1943, from the occupied Netherlands to the then free Budapest, with 89 Hungarian Jews and their Dutch families. In 1944, after the Nazi invasion of Hungary, most of them again escaped deportation, partly due to the exceptional rescue efforts of the heroic Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. In the period between 1942 and 1944, more than 90 transports of Jews departed from the Netherlands to the Nazi death camps. 102,000 Jews were killed. But, as it turns out, in 1943 there were also five transports that took Jews to freedom.
