Kindertransport
British rescue mission
that saved thousands of lives
during Second
World War
In the final months
before the war,
the British parliament
took the extraordinary
step
of accepting 10,000 children
from across
Europe,
who traversed
the continent by train
and
arrived by boat
in British ports.

In 1938,
nine months
before the Second World War,
England opened its borders
to around 10,000
children,
mostly Jewish,
who were fleeing
the Nazi regime.
The children were sent,
without their parents,
out of Austria, Germany,
Poland and
Czechoslovakia
in a process that became
known as
Kindertransport.
Most Jewish families
were prevented
from travelling abroad
by a lack of funds
or the stringent
visa controls
imposed by countries
such as Britain
and the USA.
Following
Kristallnacht,
the night of violence
organised against
the
Jewish communities
in Greater Germany
(Germany, Austria
and the
Sudetenland,
Czechoslovakia)
on 9 November 1938,
pressure was placed
on the British government
to relax
immigration controls
for a limited
number
of children.

Ministry of Food Posters
A new exhibition
at London's Imperial War Museum
(Feb 12 to Jan 3 2011)
pays tribute
to a nation's creativity and resourcefulness
in the face of wartime
– and peacetime –
food rationing.
Here is some of the eye-catching
British Government propaganda
used on the
'Kitchen Front'
during that time.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/7165696/
Vintage-Ministry-of-Food-posters.html
The following posters
were all
used during the Second World War
to encourage austerity and stoicism
on Britain's home front.
They form part of an exhibition
at the Museum of Brands in London
entitled Make
Do and Mend
(www.museumofbrands.com ;
020
79080880; 2 Colville Mews, Lonsdale Road,
Notting Hill, London W11 2AR).
The exhibition runs until November 29, 2010.
