The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum announces a new special exhibition, Kindertransport – Rescuing Children on the Brink of War, open to the public from September 18th, 2025 to February 15th, 2026. The exhibition showcases the astonishing rescue mission that brought thousands of unaccompanied children from Nazi-occupied Europe to the United Kingdom in nine months. The “Kindertransport,” German for “children’s transport” is brought to life through personal artifacts, stories, and firsthand accounts from the children who lived it.
Kindertransport – Rescuing Children on the Brink of War features newly acquired artifacts, testimonies, and photographs. It offers a poignant exploration of how the rescue operation unfolded, the sacrifices parents made to send their children to safety, and the new lives those children began in the United Kingdom. The exhibition honors the legacy of the nearly 10,000 children, mostly Jewish, who escaped unimaginable danger, including five survivors who eventually made their homes in North Texas: Leonore “Lola” Braunsberg Eldodt, Berthold “Bert” Romberg, Margarete “Magie” Romberg Furst, Charles Schwarz, and Susanne “Susie” Levy.
