by Association of Jewish Refugees (2022)

The AJR Kindertransport Survey, titled Making New Lives in Britain, is a large-scale study conducted in 2007 that collected detailed information from Kindertransport refugees about their backgrounds, journeys to Britain, reception, and later lives. It gathered over 1,000 completed questionnaires, plus supplementary forms, creating the only comprehensive statistical database on the experiences of the nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children rescued by the Kindertransport. The enhanced 2022 version includes respondents’ written notes, offering additional personal context and insights.
