The Kindertransport was a rescue mission that took place before World War II, allowing approximately 10,000 Jewish children, primarily from Germany and Austria, to escape Nazi persecution and find refuge in the UK. The impact was profound, as many of these children were saved from the horrors of the Holocaust, with some becoming prominent figures in various fields.
