English families who fostered kindertransport children #unitedkingdom
Marilyn Levinson
Dear researchers
I am wondering if the names of the families that sheltered children who arrived in England can be found. My relative, I have his name, date of departure, and that he was placed in London. Also can anyone tell me how the process was reversed and children in England were re-united with surviving German family members. The child and all his immediate family have died. Many thanks.

Hi Marilyn and anyone else looking for Kindertransportees --
This is the best resource for information about host families and other
notes: https://www.worldjewishrelief.org/about-us/your-family-history
My mother's file included information plus a photo that my
Kindertransport mother did not have, though it was missing one of her
host families.
WJR may also have the answer to your other question.

My MENDOZA grandparents took in three kids called BERGER from Dortmund. A brother called Bernard later went to Australia, a sister called Gretchen who never married, and another sister whose name I don't know, or know what happened to her. The parents were later discovered to have been murdered by the Nazis.

My KLEIN cousins, all boys (Martin, Erno, Ignacz, Alex, Jeno, Tibor and Robert, ), born between 1925 and 1937, were from Hungary and sent on a Kindertransport, to England. Both parents perished. I do not know who raised the boys. Sadly, the last two brothers both passed in 2020 (one from COVID) and I do not know how to learn more.

Three members of my Edinburgh Brown family (Brin from what is now Vistytis, Lithuania) took in Kindertransport children (in Scotland not England) from Berlin (previously from Dessau) Germany. They were reunited with their mother at the end of the war - she was an Ophthalmologist who managed to escape to New York. The Browns went to a meeting in Edinburgh and were shown photographs of children who required support. I wrote an article on them in 2016 in Shemot, the Journal of the JGSGB, after being contacted by one of the children who was living in the Seattle area - sadly he died at Xmas 2019. The experience of being uprooted several times, from Germany to Edinburgh to New York, had a lasting impact on the children, but at least they had loving families in Edinburgh - some did not, while others locally were placed in communal agricultural establishments in the Midlothian area.

My grandparents Collette & Victor Hassan looked after two young girls from the kindertransport during WW2 as well as their four children. After the war both girls found some surviving family and left England - one to Israel, the other to the US. We remained in touch visiting each other's families until Sara & Margot's deaths in recent years.
