| "Kindertransport" (transport for children) was initated and supported by the British Society of Friends in response to entreaties from Jewish and other agencies in Germany after November 1938. It saved about 10,000 children under the age of 16 by bringing them to Britain before outbreak of War in September 1939, with permission by Himmler and with the support of the British Home Office. Eichmann, of later infamy, arranged the requisite trains which had been his job all along. Also see Kindertransport, a more recent U.S. website. |
