The Film Music

 

The Music that accompanies the film, 'The Children Who Cheated The Nazis' are traditional German songs of that period dealing with leaving and loss.

Kommt ein Vogel Geflogen*: A little bird comes flying and sits down at my feet with a little message in its beak, greetings from my mother.

Wenn ich ein Voglein war: A song about how the singer wishes they were a little bird and could, 'Fly to you', but as they aren't a bird they have to stay where they are.

Muss' I denn*: a song about the singer having to leave their town and that, 'You my treasure have to remain behind'.

Two of the songs are sung by Bea Green JP, a Kindertransport survivor. The other song is sung by Tamara Schmidt, the granddaughter of a Kindertransport survivor.
