Synopsis

In May 1939, in Nazioccupied Prague, a Jewish family of five traded their luxurious apartment to a German officer for five exit visas to the United States. At the last minute, the officer produced only three exit visas. The father's prominent position at Shell Oil put him in immediate danger, so he used the three visas for himself, his wife and their infant son, leaving his two little girls in Prague in their grandmother's and uncle's care for what they all assumed would be only a matter of weeks. This is the acutal correspondence between the girls grandmother and uncle in Prague and their mother and father in the United States, over a two year period.
