My family had wanted to leave Germany together, but unfortunately we could not get a family visa. My parents wanted to leave Germany for Palestine. My mother was a Zionist, but they didn’t have enough money to leave… By saving her family, my mother ensured the continuation of her family. Only my parents were left in Berlin. In October 1942, they were sent to Theresienstadt, where my father perished in 1943.

The aim of this website is to gather together Kitchener camp documents, letters, photographs, and histories. We hope to create a better understanding: of how the Kitchener men escaped from Germany, Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia in 1939 of what their lives and routines were like in Kitchener camp and of what they went on to do when the camp closed down.

A mapped series of transcribed letters written by children while in transit on the first Kindertransport on 1 December 1938. The letters are addressed to their families back in Germany while the children are leaving them behind for the safety of England. They were subsequently transcribed by an anonymous source and sent to the JCIO by somebody who identified himself as Herr Flörsheim (or Mr Flörsheim) from Amsterdam. Beyond those few details, nothing is known about the specific provenance of this item or the individual children who wrote the letters themselves.
