In 1939, Esther Rosenfeld Starobin’s parents sent their two-year-old daughter to live with strangers in England. Jews in Nazi Germany at the time faced increasing persecution and danger. And Esther’s parents prayed their young daughter would be safe living in another country with a foster family.
Watch to learn about the next eight years Esther spent in England with a Christian family. And discover if she ever reunited with her parents, her sisters, and her brother.
