How did the kinder transport start?

Answer 1

The kinder transport was the movement to evacuate children to Britain from Nazi Germany.

Answer 2

The Kindertransport was a rescue effort that took place during World War II, allowing nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children to escape Nazi-controlled territories to countries like the United Kingdom. It was organized in late 1938 in response to the violence of Kristallnacht, which marked a significant escalation in Nazi persecution of Jews. The program was largely facilitated by charitable organizations and volunteers who helped relocate the children to safety.
