The Children of Villa Emma is a 2016 Austrian movie directed by Nikolaus Leytner. Spring 1941: 14-year-old Betty escapes with the help of a Jewish aid organization that wants to bring a group of children to Palestine. But she has to pay a high price and leave her family and friends behind. The caretakers Josko and Helga first take the children to Zagreb, but they cannot stay there for long.
