Synopsis

Forgotten Transports: To Estonia documents the incredible odyssey of a group of Czech-Jewish women who survived a series of lesser known concentration camps in a bubble of naivete, denial and camaraderie. Meticulously researched for more than seven years, with rarely seen archival images culled from more than 260 hours of film, it gives voice to the  handful of remaining WWII eyewitnesses who share their testimonies for the first time. Their gripping narratives detail one of the virtually unknown  concentration camps, where foreign women were recruited by the Nazis for factory work, with stories from private perspectives they reveal to each other only years later when  survivors were convalescing in Sweden after the war. (Some would be worthy of an Oscar-nominated film in itself.) Forgotten Transports: To Estonia pays a moving tribute to the sisterhood of an extraordinary group of women in a man's war.
