On-Site: “Kindertransport: Rescuing Children on the Brink of War”

For Educators in Grades 6-12

The Kindertransport (German for “children’s transport”) was an international effort that, over the course of just nine months, brought thousands of unaccompanied children from Nazi Europe to the United Kingdom. Using personal artifacts, testimony, and historical photos and video, participants in this workshop will explore the experiences of Chicago-area Survivors of the Kindertransport and the conditions in Nazi-controlled Europe that led parents to make the difficult decision to send their children into the unknown, and strategies to examine this chapter of Holocaust history in the classroom. 

Workshop Includes:

• Classroom Resources
• Tour of exhibition
• 3.5 Clock Hours/CPDUs
