It’s been 75 years since Kindertransport evacuated 10,000 children from Nazi territory to the safety of England in the eve of the second World War. To commemorate the occasion and the people who saved their lives, some of the 400 surviving members of Kindertransport convened in a Jewish school in London for a reunion last Sunday.
Some revelers were seeing each other for the first time in decades, and many had similar, harrowing tales to tell.
“We said goodbye to our parents, who said they would see us for a happy reunion in a few weeks time,” Herman Hirschberger told BBC, “But that’s the last time we ever saw them.” Hirschberger was 11 when Kindertransport shuttled him to Great Britain.
