| Zusammenfassung: | Quakers were involved at all stages of this extraordinary rescue, from the first train on 1 December 1938 to the last on the outbreak of war in September 1939. In London, they joined with Jewish delegates in persuading the government to relax immigration requirements, making it easier to evacuate people from Nazi Europe. In Berlin and Vienna, they accompanied children onto the trains and through the long journey to safety. And across Britain, Quakers hosted those children who had escaped, separated from their parents, providing a new home or securing wartime employment. Many meeting houses threw open their doors to accommodate the refugees. Quaker schools waived fees; in some cases, parents of existing pupils contributed to fund additional places for the incoming children. These were chaotic and painful times. There are stories of Quakers involved in the rescue effort trying desperately to deal with huge numbers of people pleading for assistance in leaving Germany; though many were helped, many, inevitably, could not be. The Kindertransport rescued nearly 10,000 children: of the six million who died in the concentration camps, a million and a half were children. And although we celebrate the survival of those who arrived on the Kindertransport trains and ferries, every case is touched by grief -- families divided, parents never seen again. For many, the only memories are sorrowful. On 1 December [2008] a modest commemoration at Friends House paid a quiet tribute to those who enabled almost 10,000 children to be rescued. |
