An Enchanted Parenthesis”? Questioning Kindertransport to France, 1938-1942
While Great Britain has earned its dominant place in the historiography on Kindertransport, other European countries developed initiatives to evacuate Jewish children from Central Europe in 1938-39. On a much smaller scale, France was also a Kindertransport destination. Between 350-450 Central European children found refuge in France. This talk will analyze the emergence of French rescue networks and highlight the specificities of the French Kindertransport by focusing on the children’s lives
