a history of the Kindertransport
Britain evacuated nearly 10,000 Jewish children from the Nazi-occupied territories in the months leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War. They were placed with host families so they could survive the war. In 1945 there was a second Kindertransport to rescue young survivors of the Holocaust. After the war the Refugee Children Movement was established in order to unite children with any family members who had survived the Holocaust.
