Jews were the primary victims – six million were murdered. Roma and Sinti (Gypsies), people with mental and physical disabilities, and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi Germany. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) Kindertransport Between December 1938 and May 1940 nearly 10,000 refugee children, 7,500 of whom were Jewish, were relocated from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland to Great Britain. This effort was called the Kindertransport. The Kindertransport represented not only the generosity of the British government and people, but also a significant example of Jewish pro-activity in their own rescue and great family sacrifice. Jewish parents, with the foresight to see the potential danger of Nazi policy even before the outbreak of World War II, made the difficult decision to separate from their children in the hopes that they would be safer with strangers in a foreign country. The first transport to leave Germany was composed of orphans from Berlin and landed in Hartwich, England on December 2, 1938. Later transports, which were organized by the Jewish community, gave priority to children whose emigration was urgent because they or their parents were in concentration camps or their families were no longer able to support them. Priority was also given to homeless children and orphans. About half of the children who came to Britain were placed with foster families. The children’s experiences varied - many found genuine support and affection with their foster families and integrated into the family. Others were very unhappy. Life in Great Britain represented a significant cultural shift from central Europe both in social practice and language. There was often very little support for the practice of religious or cultural Judaism, though the children were otherwise well-treated with access to education and basic necessities. The children who were not placed with foster families, generally the older children, were more likely to live in hostels or on farms. In 1940, as the war reached Britain, approximately 1,000 of these older children from the Kindertransport were imprisoned as enemy aliens. Having left home with few belongings and financial resources, but with a strong hope of reunification, the children maintained contact with their parents. Initially, letters still moved between countries and families wrote of hopes and plans for their future together. The beginning of the war in 1939 made communication much more sporadic and difficult when the German government restricted the delivery of mail to and from Jews. By 1942, almost no communication was possible as deportations began to death camps in the East. At the conclusion of the war in 1945, the Kinder waited to be reunited with their parents. For most, that reunion never happened. For a lucky minority, a parent or other family member who had survived the Holocaust came to find them. Reunions were not always happy as children had grown and changed and parents were also changed by their experiences. Many Kinder, usually those with no living relatives, made the decision to become citizens of Great Britain, while others emigrated to Israel and the United States. - 3 - Kindertransport Resource Guide The Third Reich 1938 & 1939 1938 January German Jews must turn in their passports.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:18 04 October 2016 Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany This book is about the ethics of nursing and midwifery, and how these were abrogated during the Nazi era. Nurses and midwives actively killed their patients, many of whom were disabled children and infants and patients with mental (and other) illnesses or intellectual disabilities. The book gives the facts as well as theoretical perspectives as a lens through which these crimes can be viewed. It also provides a way to teach this history to nursing and midwifery students, and, for the first time, explains the role of one of the world’s most historically prominent midwifery leaders in the Nazi crimes.

  • You Can Download the PDF Version of Sir Nicholas Winton's Life Story Here
    Sir Nicholas Winton was born in Hampstead, London in 1909. For nine months in 1939 he rescued 669 children from Czechoslovakia, bringing them to the UK, thereby sparing them from the horrors of the Holocaust. Sir Nicholas died in July 2015, aged 106. ‘Why are you making such a big deal out of it? I just helped a little; I was in the right place at the right time.’ Despite Sir Nicholas’s humble and inspiring statement, it was more than just being in the right place at the right time, as his life story will show. Sir Nicholas Winton was born in Hampstead in 1909 to Jewish parents. In December 1938, at the age of 29, Winton cancelled a planned skiing holiday after being urged by a friend, Martin Blake, to go to Prague to see the dire situation for himself. The area had become overwhelmed with refugees after Germany had annexed the Sudetenland, a mostly German-speaking area of Czechoslovakia. Winton travelled to Czechoslovakia where he was sent by Doreen Warriner to see several refugee camps. Blake and Warriner were both working with an organisation to help relocate the adults, and Winton quickly realised that something had to be done to rescue the children who were caught up in the situation. He simply could not stand by. On Kristallnacht (9 and 10 November 1938), the Nazis had initiated a campaign of hatred against the Jewish population in all Nazi territories. An estimated 91 Jews were killed, 30,000 were arrested, and 267 synagogues were destroyed. Following this, the British government relaxed its immigration laws and agreed to allow in a limited number of children from Germany and Austria.

At one time or another the entire world at some point has witnessed the brunt of these continual paths ofdestruction and horror. And over time, these conflicts have originated for different reasons: acquiring wealth and additional land mass, hatred or greed against a culture, taking control over the weak, political and religious beliefs, protection of an existing culture or lifestyle, fear, revenge or retaliation, and bad judgment. These wars are never initiated by the innocent ofthe world, especially the children, but are forced upon them in such brutal ways that it is hard to fathom that mankind at times can be so insanely cruel, unjust and incomprehensible to their very existence or plight.

But when Hitler’s armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa’s parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport—a rescue effort that relocated Jewish children to Great Britain—they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. Living in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa felt the weight of her parents’ choice and yearned to be reunited with her family. But despite her circumstances, Lisa created a new life for herself, and her music became a beacon of hope for all the children of Willesden Lane.

  • Karl Brandt, Philipp Bouhler, Viktor Brack, and Leonardo Conti
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2015 Vol. VII, Spring 2015 ISSN 2153-1714 The Administration of Death: Karl Brandt, Philipp Bouhler, Viktor Brack, and Leonardo Conti Zacharey Crawford Abstract This essay provides a new perspective on the administrative structures of the Nazi euthanasia programs of 1939-1942. The focus is on the four key individuals involved in the planning and execution of the program: Dr. Karl Brandt, Viktor Brack, Philipp Bouhler, and Dr. Leonardo Conti. The most lethal phase of the Holocaust commenced with the German invasion of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941. Beginning in December of that year, scores of victims were systematically gassed in Nazi extermination camps, but the methods used in the destruction of the European Jews had been developed and tested much earlier. The euthanasia program (Operation T4) that had been carried out by the Nazis between late 1938 and August 1941 laid the ground for the killing methods used in the Holocaust.1 It was the Nazis’ goal to create a racially defined Volksgemeinschaft or people’s community that excluded all individuals and 1 The most important studies on this topic are Michael Burleigh, Death and Deliverance: ‘Euthanasia’ in Germany 1900-1945 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994); Götz Aly, Peter Chroust, and Christian Pross, Cleansing the Fatherland: Nazi Medicine and Racial Hygiene (Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994); Henry Friedlander, The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1995), 59 groups who did not fit Nazi criteria of racial purity and superiority.2 While Jews were the Nazis’ main target, other groups were also excluded, for instance Sinti and Roma and so-called “aliens to the community.”3 Children and adults with physical and mental disabilities that were deemed to be “unworthy of life” became victims of the euthanasia program.
