The Kindertransport: Strangers in a Strange Land [On the Holocaust]

Just before the outbreak of World War II, about 10,000 Jewish children were given a rare chance to escape from mainland Europe. They were sent to Britain as part of a refugee program later known as the Kindertransport. In this episode of "On The Holocaust" we focus on the events leading up to this extraordinary aid effort, the complex fates of these children, and the dilemmas of their parents. Featured guest: Jennifer Craig-Norton, visiting fellow at the University of Southampton in the UK.
