This silent film is a dramatization of a group of children and their adult caretaker about to board a mobile gas van. As the four Nazi soldiers prepare the van, the teacher remains calm so as not to panic the children. The children are playing blind man's bluff and other children's games as they unknowingly await their death. The film is full of symbolism and depicts the event without any language.
