Show Notes

85 years ago, 200 Jewish children arrived in Great Britain from Germany. It was the first of many so-called Kindertransport rescue missions. The children were brought out of Nazi Germany to safety. Until September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany attacked Poland and World War II started, around 10,000 minors were saved that way. But for other children, it was too late.
