A German Hero: Fredy Hirsch And The Children Of The Holocaust

He became a beacon of hope for thousands of children and a lifesaver for hundreds: the Jewish German Fredy Hirsch. Director Winfried Laasch takes a look at one of the last mysteries of the Holocaust. As a boy scout, Fredy Hirsch took care of those who were most helpless in the face of Nazi reprisals from an early age: Jewish children and young people. First in Düsseldorf, later in Prague, then in the Theresienstadt ghetto and finally in Auschwitz.
