Abstract

The transportation of 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe between 1938 and 1939 remains one of the most celebrated acts of recent British history. This article analyses the memoirs of the former refugees themselves and sets out the case for reexamining popular representations of the scheme, addressing the diversity of experience for the children once in England, the hardships and emotional upheaval encountered during this stage of their young lives and looking at some of the limitations of the Kindertransport itself.
