A news report on new historical findings about the rescue of thousands of Jewish children who escaped Nazi persecution before the Second World War. The article highlights recent archival research that sheds light on the networks, routes, and individuals involved in helping children flee Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia—often through lesser‑known pathways beyond the well‑documented Kindertransport to Britain. The discoveries deepen understanding of how families, aid organisations, and volunteers worked under extreme pressure to secure children’s safety.
