"And I never saw them again." Stories of the Kindertransport

In January, 2019, Centropa interviewed twelve Kindertransport refugees living in London. Born in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, their parents took them to their local train stations in 1938 and '39, promised to follow soon, and watched as their children left for England, and safety. Most of these "Kinder," now in their 90's, never saw their parents again. Special thanks to The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany and The Association of Jewish Refugees

Some of them adjusted rather quickly and it's a shame that some of the children struggle with adjusting to being an England .
I'm glad some of them were reunited with parents or relatives after the war .

So sad. Hope they had good lives in Britain. Heartbreaking in so many ways.

Thank you for uploading this! My great grandma Inge was a kindertransport child with her sister from Austria but sadly had a very bad experience when she came to England I don't know the details but they were very unlucky. They never saw their parents again and never talked about it so a lot of generational trauma has been passed down my family

I wonder if the kindertransport also included the children Sir Winton helped get out of Czechoslovakia .
He saved 669 Jewish children and many decades later was knighted for it .

I tried to correct a grammatical error in here from the autocorrect and it won't let me correct it .
What I said towards the end was that I don't for call Sir Winton's first name .

Lovely folks.

Britain should have saved the families by allowing both parents and children to be on the transports and to keep the families together. Britain didn’t want the Jewish parents.
Many were orphaned as a result so very very sad…. I wish they had allowed the parents to come with the children. 😢

By what I’ve seen/heard/read, some did, many didn’t.
