Kindertransport: The 10,000 Rescued Children and the Million Who Perished
Hosted By: The Olga Lengyel Institute for Holocaust Studies and Human Rights (TOLI)
The Kindertransport (“Children’s Transport”) was a British-organized rescue of 10,000 children – mostly Jewish – who were saved from the Holocaust.
This webinar will highlight the remarkable efforts of Sir Nicholas Winton, the British businessman who brought 669 Jewish refugee children to the UK. We will hear from a survivor – one of “Nicky’s Children” – and the daughter of another.
While the Kindertransport was life-saving for these youths, it was an exception during the Holocaust, when one million children perished. The webinar will feature the remarkable rescue and also the failure of nations, including the US, to open their borders to those who were so desperate to leave.
