Скачать или смотреть First Christmas of German War Orphans in the U.S. – "A Dream Never Imagined"

This is the heartbreaking yet hopeful untold story of German war orphans who found a new home and experienced their First Christmas in America after the devastation of World War II.

For children who only knew post-war Germany—marked by scarcity, loss, and ruin—the generous welcome and the abundance of the American Christmas season felt like "a dream never imagined." How did these children make their way from the rubble of Europe to the holiday warmth of the United States? This documentary explores the efforts of aid organizations, the kindness of American families, and the profound emotional journey of these German children as they adapted to their new lives. We highlight powerful moments of culture clash, the struggle to learn English, and the sheer joy of experiencing a holiday free from hunger and fear.
