The heartbreaking and inspiring story of 10,000 children saved from the Nazi regime. In Nov. 1938, international public opinion was shocked by the news of Kristallnacht -- the anti-Jewish pogrom that led to the burning of synagogues and the first mass arrests of Jewish men. Twelve days later, the British gov't. implemented a plan, known as the Kindertransport, which allowed many children to leave the horrors of the Nazi regime, and find temporary refuge within Britain. By the time war was declared in Sept. 1939 this undertaking had saved 10,000 lives. Here, the story of what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the Nazi threat, to escape danger and fear, but also to leave family and friends -- perhaps forever -- is told in the words of those directly involved. Photos.

How do you connect with others when you always feel out of place? 
Following a kaleidoscopic array of characters adrift in a precarious world, Misfits grapples with the challenges of contemporary life, including climate change, inequality, uncertainty, and pain. 
A depressed accountant stumbles on a teenage eco-terrorist in a parking garage; a middle-aged psychiatrist buys a drink for a seductive young artist during a flight delay; an out-of-work journalist recruits Chicano gangbangers to help a desperate tennis partner; a troubled biologist runs into J. Robert Oppenheimer in a Santa Fe hotel.\nThese fraught encounters all have unexpected and startling consequences. Despite their differences in age, background, and circumstance, the characters in Misfits share a common sense of dislocation and alienation. They struggle to find a sense of belonging and connection, but ultimately discover unexpected sources of resilience and hope.\nWith its evocative portrayal of Los Angeles as a microcosm of contemporary society, Misfits offers a compelling exploration of the human condition in an unpredictable and rapidly changing world.
