Kindertransport ‘lost’ records found by researcher

Used by border officials in the Netherlands, the records contain the names of almost all the children who fled to the UK and Holland on the Kindertransport – up to 9,000 children – on more than 90 trains between December 1938 and August 1939.

They include details of the children’s names, home addresses, dates of birth, parents’ names, chaperones’ names, transport numbers and departure dates.

The documents were discovered in the archives at Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel, by Dr Amy Williams, a freelance research fellow who studied at Nottingham Trent University.
