SUMMARY:KTA Social Chat with Leni Schmeidel and Luca Kuhlman
DESCRIPTION:Join KTA Spring 2026 intern Leni Schmeidel and Luca Kuhlman as 
 they speak with KT2 Linda Waldroup. As young German women\, Leni and Luca 
 will share how researching the history of the Kindertransports and buildin
 g personal connections with Kindertransport generations has profoundly sha
 ped their lives and perspectives.\n\nLuca Kuhlmann grew up in Dorsten\, a 
 town in the far north of the Ruhr region. After interviewing KTA member Ki
 nd Erika E. Estis\, Luca wrote "Never before or since have I met a person 
 who radiates so much wisdom and courage." She was awarded the Margot Spiel
 mann Prize by the Jewish Museum of Westphalia for her thesis. Leni Schmeid
 el is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Political Science\, Peace and Conf
 lict Studies\, as well as Gender Studies and feminist sciences at Philipps
  University in Marburg\, Germany. Over the past year\, she has become deep
 ly engaged with the history and legacy of the Kindertransport through acad
 emic research and personal connection. KTA Speakers Bureau Chair Alan Peiz
 er connected Leni with Kinder including Manny Lindenbaum\, Josef Eisinger\
 , and Margot Lobree. Leni writes “These conversations touched me deeply 
 and have profoundly shaped my commitment to Holocaust education…The topi
 c never really let me go. Instead\, it influenced my choice of studies and
  strengthened my interest in Holocaust education\, antisemitism research\,
  and the political dimensions of memory. The insights I gained through the
  KTA left a lasting mark. They sparked in me a deep commitment to contribu
 te to the\n\npreservation of Kindertransport history\, to help ensure that
  the stories of the Kinder remain accessible\, visible\, and meaningful fo
 r future generations.” Leni has created brilliant short videos for the K
 TA’s social media.\n\nTo register\, join the KTA!
