Laya's Way Home Part 2

Laya Semler was the last Jew sent to a concentration camp from Wennigsen, Germany, in 1945. Now, Wennigsen has invited their Australian family back, to commemorate Laya and Adolf’s incredible story of courage and love. In Part 2, they will experience that history face-to-face -- when they visit the slave labour camp, only recently unearthed, where Adolf was held.
