Holocaust: The Kindertransport

The devastating World War II began on September 1, 1939. A devastating massacre is going on in earnest during this period and it gets worse soon. This frustrating massacre assassinate the majority of people, hurt many others, and always plagued the lives of survivors. This is a terrible event, but fortunately some people are saved. Many young people escaped the destructive nature of war through the Great Kinder Transport. Kindertransport is a name that transports children from where they are about to be hit by war to a safe place.

Between 1938 and 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, 10,000 European Jewish children received a UK temporary visa, the so-called Kindell Transport. With this, these children were able to escape the massacre. American Quakers played an important role in putting pressure on the British government to provide these visas. Quakers go out with Jewish children in the train and take care of them many as soon as they arrive in the UK. Before and during World War II, Quaker often rescued Jewish refugee families from Europe and eventually went to the United States Jewish joint distribution committee or Oberde to help fly to America Cooperated with SECURDS assistant (OSE). But in some cases, only children can escape - these are mainly Jewish children who escape without their companion, leaving their parents murdered by the Nazis. These children are part of one million children, in fact there are about 1,400 people.

The story about Kindertransport is particularly impressive so that children can freely contact the Nazi train during the Holocaust. In another story, seven different children, five years old children talk about the experience and familiarity they have left. Writers include pictures, poems, short memoirs, and memories of talkers about those horrible times and their consequences. She also elaborated on the incident that caused each survivor to leave, pointed out that some children are from wealthy families, but others are not. Many children have never seen their own family. This seems to be a small number for over 1 million children dying during the Holocaust, but 10,000 Jewish children survived the relocation plan for goodwill of strangers.

I recently visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and I heard my aunt talking about her experience as a child of the Kindelt Transport. She was interviewed in the courtroom and when she spoke, 200 people in the room were fully engaged. A young woman asked the two sisters how to support her after the closing of a new domestic war (from the age of 11). She talked about our family full of strong women. All men and women, all the family members who existed, laughed diligently as it was so real.
