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.

“Letters from Liberators” documents the immediate reactions of Allied soldiers who liberated Nazi concentration camps in April and May 1945. Although many had heard reports of Nazi atrocities, nothing prepared them for the reality they encountered. Shock, grief, anger, and disbelief shaped the letters and reports they wrote to superiors and loved ones. These firsthand accounts, supported by historic film footage, artifacts, and oral histories, capture the urgency soldiers felt to ensure the world would know what had happened.

The story of the Refugee Resettlement Farm, which existed in Millisle, County Down from 1938 to 1948, is one of the little-known ‘secret histories’ of the Second World War in Ireland. To this remote, disused farm on the beautiful Ards peninsula, came, in the late 1930s, Jewish children who escaped on Kindertransports, together with older members of religious Zionist youth groups, and some adults, all refugees from Nazi terror.

Paul Heimann was born in Austria in 1923. When the Anschluss took place, Paul and his parents found themselves at the centre of Hitler’s ambitions, and they felt the full weight of Nazism with the Kristallnacht. Their synagogue was burned, and the stormtroopers prevented the fire department from taking action. Paul’s parents saw the writing on the wall, and they arranged to have Paul evacuated, and Paul was fortunate to join the kindertransport. Paul was interviewed by a group of students at Baycrest in September 2016, where he shared his story, and even played a few tunes for them.
