The forgotten Kindertransportees : the Scottish experience
Williams, Frances2015
Books, Manuscripts
The Kindertransport brought close to 10,000 unaccompanied children and young people to Britain on a trans-migrant basis between 1938 and 1939, with an estimated 70% of these children being of the Jewish faith. The outbreak of the Second World War turned this short-term initiative into a longer-term episode and Britain became home to the thousands that had been forced to migrate across the continent to flee the Nazis. This book re-evaluates and challenges misconceptions about the Kindertransportees' experiences in Britain. It focuses on the particularity of the Scottish experience, scrutinising misleading national pictures.
