Norton’s thesis provides a historical overview of the Kindertransport and examines how its memory has been shaped over time. She traces the rescue operation’s context, the experiences of the children involved, and the ways in which public remembrance, survivor narratives, and commemorative practices have constructed the Kindertransport as a historical event. The work combines archival research with memory studies to show how history and remembrance interact in shaping our understanding of the Kindertransport.
