SUMMARY:KTA 85th Year Commemorative Trip
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday May 12\, 2024 (Mother’s Day holiday in the USA)\, K
 indertransport survivor families\, ages 92 years to six months\, will meet
  in London. They’ve traveled from across the United States\; from Califo
 rnia and Washington State\, New York\, and Florida\, with North Carolina\,
  Colorado\, Florida\, Kansas\, Maryland\, Massachusetts\, Pennsylvania\, a
 nd New Hampshire all represented.\n\nThey will spend five days in England 
 honoring the mothers\, fathers\, grandparents and great grandparents who m
 ade the unimaginable choice\, exactly 85 years ago\, in the months before 
 the outbreak of World War II\, to send their children away to safety. Thes
 e brave mothers and fathers said goodbye to their children\, not knowing i
 f or when they would see them again\, not knowing where or how their child
 ren would live. These children were among the more than 10\,000 mostly Jew
 ish children sent from Germany\, Austria\, Poland\, and Czechoslovakia to 
 safety in the United Kingdom.\n\nMonday May 13 will be a highlight of the 
 trip\, as the travelers start at Liverpool Street Station\, visit the Kind
 ertransport memorials there\, together with local Kinder and descendants\,
  then take the train to Harwich\, where the Kinder first set foot in safe 
 haven\, to view the recently installed memorial and talking bench\, hosted
  by The Harwich Kindertransport Memorial and Learning Trust\, and facilita
 ted by Greater Anglia.\n\nAfter the war\, many Kindertransport survivors m
 oved to North America\, and there remains a strong family connection betw
 een Kindertransport generations in the USA and UK\, reflected in the part
 nership between the Kindertransport Association\, based in New York City\,
  and the Association of Jewish Refugees in London as the two organizations
  co-host several events.\n\nOver five very busy days\, the travelers will 
 learn about new Kindertransport research\, and close the week with a farew
 ell reception joined by Kindertransport generations from throughout the UK
 .
