SUMMARY:For the Child – The Story of the Kindertransport Exhibit in Otta
 wa\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:For the Child – The Story of the Kindertransport\nOttawa Cit
 y Hall\, Hosted in Cooperation with the Embassy of Austria and the Britis
 h High Commissioner under the Auspices of Mayor Watson\n\nThe “For the 
 Child” photographic exhibition tells the story of the organized rescue 
 transport of Jewish children to Great Britain in 1938-1939.  This bilingu
 al exhibit will offer an excellent opportunity for the community to learn 
 about the incredible story of the\n\nKindertransport – a topic that has 
 never been presented in Ottawa. The Kindertransport rescue enabled more th
 an 10\,000 children who were considered Jewish\, according to the Nurember
 g race laws\, to depart for Great Britain from Germany\, Austria\, and Cze
 choslovakia between the end of November 1938 and September 1\, 1939.\n\nTh
 e exhibit\, organized by the Vienna Memorial Museum\, includes 30 photogra
 phs of objects the children took with them on their journey over 80 years 
 ago. Each shows an original suitcase containing objects carried by a child
  as they travelled into an unknown future. In many instances\, the objects
  represent the last physical contact a child had with their parents.\n\nTh
 e exhibit “For the Child” has already been successfully displayed in
  Vienna\, London\, Berlin and recently at the University of Alberta in Edm
 onton.  CHES  will host the exhibit in Ottawa this October in cooperatio
 n with the Embassy of Austria and the British High Commissioner under the 
 auspices of Mayor Watson. Lesson plan available for teachers here.\n\n
