"Kindertransport": Interview with Irena Leiberman

Between December 1938 and September 1939 approximately 10,000 children between the ages 3 and 17 left Nazi Germany without their parents or any other adult relative for safe haven in Great Britain. Each child was allowed 1 suitcase and until they reached the port city in Holland where they boarded the boat for England, they were forced to travel in sealed train cars. As a parent or grandparent I can't imagine the bravery or pain involved in sending your child or children to another country in the hopes of saving their life. Most of the Kindertransports never saw their parents again. Irena Leiberman was a Kindertransport. She now resides in Maryland. I recommend the video of "Into The Arms of Strangers".
