9 Jews Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World Forever

Kati Marton's The Great Escape reveals how their fear of tyranny drove them to create, innovate, and fight back. This video breaks down their stories, showing how a handful of refugees outsmarted Hitler, won the war, and built the world we live in today. Watch to understand why their legacy still haunts us.
