Into the Arms of Strangers

More about the book

The violence in Germany on 9 November 1938, Kristallnacht, awakened public opinion in Britain to the Nazi threat, and one response to the plight of Jews in Germany and Austria was the system of evacuations set up by the Refugee Childrenâ€s Movement. The historian David Cesarini introduces this collection of stories – told in their own words – of men and women who came to Britain as child refugees as part of the scheme, known informally as the Kindertransport.
