A dog (jack russel-ish) goes missing, and it is nerve wracking because the little children were so scared of it in the beginning… but you find out right away that one of the quieter boys just took it as a companion, and he didn’t seem to know better. He willingly gives it back to the owner when asked, and the dog is completely unharmed.
All of the refugee children had suffered extreme abuse in the concentration camps, and their scars are visible during the med checks… but no physical abuse takes place during the film.
Many of the children have lost siblings, and it IS discussed regularly… but no children are seen dying. And none of the children at Windermere die during the film. *It IS revealed at the end that some of the real children depicted in the film have already died in real life… specifically Salek, who died in 2014*
One of the boys goes underwater to scream and cry after he find out his family is gone… and you get nervous for a minute that he’s not going to come up… but he does.
The entire premise revolves around helping 300 Jewish children overcome the PTSD of N**i Germany after being freed from the concentration camps. So… yes.
