Product Information

IMAGERY – “The whitewash has been stripped away and underneath is pure filth” – Evelyn compares her identity The action shifts to Helga and Evelyn’s tense reunion after the war. By now, Evelyn has long accepted that her family is likely dead, adopted the Millers as her new family, and denied her Jewish roots—a transformation reflected in her decision to change her name from Eva to Evelyn, an English name. Helga pleads with Evelyn to travel to New York with her and start a new life with their surviving relatives. But Evelyn refuses, unwilling to abandon her life in England. The work of the BCRC in Czechoslovakia was little noted until 1988 when the refugee children held a reunion. By that time most of the people who had worked in the kindertransport in Czechoslovakia had died and Winton became the living symbol of British help to refugees fleeing the Nazis, especially Jewish refugees, before the Second World War. [51] Wilfrid Israel [ edit ] Jewish organizations within the Greater German Reich (which in 1938 included Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland) planned the transports. These organizations were the Reich Representation of Jews in Germany, headquartered in Berlin; after early 1939, its successor organization the Reich Association of Jews in Germany; and the Jewish Community Organization ( Kultusgemeinde) in Vienna. They generally favored children whose emigration was urgent because their parents were in concentration camps or were no longer able to support them. They also gave priority to homeless children and orphans. Cohen, Melvin (1999). Habonim in Britain 1929-1955. Israel: Irgun Vatikei Habonim. pp.155, 196–203.

During the Blitz and evacuation the Kinder shared many similar experiences to British children. This broke down distinctions between them. Kinder came to serve in the British armed forces, the nursing professions, in food production and in war-related industries. 1,000 Kinder, when they turned 18, joined thePioneer Corps of the British Army. 30 of them lost their lives. To mark the 80 th anniversary of the Kindertransport the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is co-producing Diane Samuels’ extraordinary heart-felt play with with Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg in association with Selladoor Productions. Records for many of the children who arrived in the UK through the Kindertransports are maintained by World Jewish Relief through its Jewish Refugees Committee. [14] Recovery [ edit ]
