Exhibit: "A Thousand Kisses: Stories of the Kindertransport" 

November 23 to 26 during regular hours 

This 10-panel traveling exhibit explores the experiences of children rescued through the Kindertransport, who fled Nazi Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia from 1938 to 1940. During this time, the British government admitted 10,000 unaccompanied Jewish children as refugees from escalating Nazi persecution. The exhibit highlights the efforts of communal organizations and individuals who provided foster homes and support. It also explores the difficulties faced by the children’s parents, who struggled to gain admission and the post-war effort by Kindertransport survivors to locate their families, many of whom were murdered by the Nazis.  

Created by the Wiener Holocaust Library, London and printed with support of the British High Commission Ottawa.
