This special virtual commemoration of World Kindertransport Day marks the 82nd anniversary of the first arrival, which safely delivered approximately 200 children to Great Britain.

Participants will include Paul Kester, who traveled from Germany to Sweden on a Kindertransport in 1939; Barbara Winton, daughter of humanitarian and rescuer Sir Nicholas Winton; and Michele Gold, Museum Board Chair and daughter of Kindertransport survivor Rita Berwald.
