Jennifer Craig-Norton sets out to challenge celebratory narratives
of the Kindertransport that have dominated popular memory as well
as literature on the subject. According to these accounts, the
Kindertransport was a straightforward act of rescue and salvation,
with little room for a deeper, more complex analysis. This volume
reveals that in fact many children experienced difficulties with
settlement: they were treated inconsistently by refugee agencies,
their parents had complicated reasons for giving them up, and their
caregivers had a variety of motives for taking them in. Against the
grain of many other narratives, Craig-Norton emphasizes the use of
newly discovered archival sources, which include the correspondence
of refugee agencies, carers, Kinder and their parents and
juxtaposes this material with testimonial accounts to show readers
a more nuanced and complete picture of the Kindertransport. In an
era in which the family separation of refugees has commanded
considerable attention, this book is a timely exploration of the
effects of family separation as it was experienced by child
refugees in the age of fascism.
