Ich habe heute den sehr bewegenden Film "One Life" über Sir Nicholas Winton gesehen, der vor dem 2. Weltkrieg insgesamt 669 Kinder aus der Tschechoslowakei mit den Kindertransporten nach Großbritannien gebracht und damit vor den Nazis gerettet hat.

Lord Alf Dubs, who came to Britain on the #Kindertransport, has said the government is “pulling up the drawbridge” by suspending family reunion visas.
Restricting #FamilyReunion undermines dignity & forces people into dange. We must defend #SafeRoutes that keep families together.

I mean, can't we just organise a new #KinderTransport?
There are so many CHILDREN DYING in #Gaza this winter, and it is not OK to do nothing!

America needs a #KinderTransport to save its children
Safe routes save lives. From the #Kindertransport to today, history shows that when protection is closed off, harm follows.
#AtrocityPrevention must start before people are forced into danger.

1 December 1938: The first #Kindertransport left Berlin for Britain. #History #Holocaust
Between 1938 and 1940, around 10,000 children were brought to Britain. They were often the only members of their families who survived the Holocaust.
You can hear from another Kindertransport child, Ursula Gilbert, here: celebratingjewisharchives.org/treasures/th...

Presumably as opposed to sending their children to the UK unaccompanied in the hope that mean-minded, I'm all right Jack, oh look I'm an immigrant, Home Secretaries won't immediately deport them.
Worked for the #Kindertransport. Children lived while their parents were murdered in hellholes.
Could someone better able than me set out that #Kindertransport is not a good example of Uk government welcoming #Refugees please?
Thanks
Looks like Mahmood would have loved the conditions for the #Kindertransport to be allowed into the UK
* No burden on the state
* Assumption their stay would only be temporary
* No family reunion
and would probably have returned them to their home countries in 1945

Recommend this beautiful book re #kindertransport. So moving, such brave people. Thank you @megclayton.com
🙏🏽 Thousands of Jewish children fled to #Britain and other European countries in the 1938-39 rescue mission known as the #Kindertransport. Seven survivors recall their journeys, and what came next.
On this day, in 1939, 10-year-old twins Hanna and Hans Cohn left Germany for England on the #Kindertransport.
Their journey and arrival had all been planned in advance, and they had the papers they needed. This was a #SafeRoute.
📺 Watch their journey here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCS4...
St Michael and All Angels Church in #Wigan took in several young people who came over to the #UK on the #Kindertransport in 1940

During WWII, the UK’s #Kindertransport Scheme helped 10,000 Jewish children escape Nazi Europe. Today, the government have stated an aim to deter refugees from claiming #Asylum.
Join us in calling for safe routes for refugees this #RefugeeWeek!

Over 30 years ago #Kindertransport won the Verity Bargate award. Still going strong. Off to Palmers Green High school this week to give talk to students about the play and how it explores the lifelong impact of parent/child enforced separation #theatre @nickhernbooks.bsky.social #truelifestories
The Bernsteins were a German Jewish family. In June 1939, 16-year-old Susanne Bernstein was sent to safety in England on a #Kindertransport, joining her brother, Heinz. Her parents, Richerd and Grisela, were both murdered in Auschwitz.
