The Nazi doctrines of eugenics which led to genocide were by no means limited to Jews, gypsies, or homosexuals. This gripping drama follows the exploits of two pediatric caregivers who risked their lives to protect their handicapped charges from being gassed or used in medical experiments. Even though what the government was doing was in the caretakers' view obviously not conscionable, they were unable to get help from religious or judicial authorities and were forced to resort to other ways to rescue the youths in their care.
