The first transnational study of the memory of the Kindertransport
and the first to explore how it is represented in museums,
memorials, and commemorations. The Kindertransport, the rescue of
ca. 10,000 Jewish children from the Nazi sphere of control and
influence before the Second World War, has often been framed as a
"British story." This book recognizes that even though most of the
"Kinder" were initially brought to the UK and many stayed, it was
more than that. It therefore compares British memory of the
Kindertransport to that of other host nations (the US, Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand). It is the first book to ask how the
Kindertransport is remembered both in the countries of origin,
particularly Germany, and in the host nations, as well as the first
to analyze how it is represented in museums, memorials, and
commemorations. Seeing memory of the Kindertransport in the host
nations and in Germany as significantly different, the study argues
that the different national memory discourses around the Nazi
persecution of Jews shape the respective countries' images of the
Kindertransport, and that those images in turn shape the discourses
- especially in Britain. Yet while national memory frameworks
remain crucial to how the Kindertransport is remembered, the book
also documents the increasing significance of transnational memory
trends that link the host nations with each other and with the
countries from which the children originated.

Central to every vampire story is the undead's need for human
blood, but equally compelling is the human ingestion of vampire
blood, which often creates a bond. This blood connection suggests
two primal, natural desires: breastfeeding and communion with God
through a blood covenant. This analysis of vampire stories explores
the benefits of the bonding experiences of breastfeeding and
Christian and vampire narratives, arguing that modern readers and
viewers are drawn to this genre because of our innate fascination
with the relationship between human and maker.
