"In many Indigenous tribes, not only in the United States, but in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, in many places, the children were taken away to put them in some Christian orphanages, horrible places where many of them died of abuse and starvation. So, that idea of separating the kids is extremely cruel, but it keeps happening."

Isabel Allende tells Amy Goodman what prompted her to write her new novel The Wind Knows My Name:

"When the separation of families at the border here happened in 2017 and '18, I remembered the Kindertransport and other instances in which the children have been taken away from the parents. For example, during slavery, children were sold out to — taken from their mothers' arms."

Woohoo! Off to #Brno on the 12:24 #CD #Railjet from #Prague. Also had time to check in with Nicholas Winton on platform one and look at the statue commemorating his efforts in organising the #KinderTransport. #interrail (repost for alt text)

@effjayem @drfionamoore The #Kindertransport memorial in #Frankfurt near the Hauptbahnhof, where many of these children began their journey: The carousel is inscribed with farewells, hoping for a quick reunion. Very few of those reunions took place.

On #HolocaustMemorialDay I'm reminded of the #KinderTransport that brought children from occupied Europe to safety in the UK. There's a memorial to this on Harwich Quay, where the ferries still pass daily.

On #HolocaustMemorialDay remember the #Kindertransport but also remember the years of government resistance to aiding Jewish refugees (stoked up by nativist fears in the populist media of ‘economic migrants’ and security risks) which necessitated it in the first place.

On #HolocaustMemorialDay please remember Gustav Metzger (1926–2017) an artist who bore witness through his life and work to disappearance, erasure and extinction.
On 12 January 1939, he arrived in England on #Kindertransport with his elder brother Mendel (1924–2002).

I took a friend, (who had never heard of Kindertransports,) to see The Pianist of Willesden Lane at the San Diego Repertory Theatre a few years back. It was, as described, mesmerizing. We need more storytelling like this.

I just learned ⬇️ that a recently deceased Professor Emeritus of #Chemistry at my alma mater #McMasterUniversity , Ian Spencer, was also saved by the #Kindertransport before #WorldWar2 .

In our many fascinating conversations, and exhausting squash games, he never mentioned it. He was a real mensch! 🪦

As the #NewYear comes around again, I shall be thinking of my #OnTime characters, who over New Year 2026, send a #TimeTraveller to 1939 in the hope that he can ensure a little girl boards the last #KinderTransport to leave Prague, in order to protect the integrity of the timeline. And trying to make some more headway on the next instalment of their adventures! #books #bookstodon #authors #Fiction #SciFi #History #HistoricalFiction

Thank you for sharing.

For those who are not familiar with #kindertransport pls have a look at

What sad news - the death of Erich Reich. May his memory be for a blessing.

I didn’t know Erich except for brief encounters at events, but he always seemed like a lovely man & did so much work towards remembrance and education.
