Esther Clifford remembers Kristallnacht
Eternal Jew 1938 [Kristallnacht] From the beginning Hitler's regime targeted German Jews with anti-Semitic propaganda claiming they were responsible for the country's defeat in WWI and subsequent economic crisis. A series of laws were passed restricting Jewish rights to full employment, education and citizenship. The turning point was Kristallnacht, often cited as the beginning of the Holocaust, when persecution escalated from social, economic and political to state sponsored violence, deportation and mass murder.

Kindertransport 1938-1940 Between 1938 and 1940, nearly 10,000 children, fleeing the persecution of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe, were evacuated to Britain on the Kindertransport (children's transport). These are some of their stories.
Kindertransport Association In the months between the Kristallnacht Pogrom of November 9-10, 1938, and the start of World War II nearly 10,000 children were sent, without their parents out of Nazi Germany, Austria, Poland and Czechoslovakia to safety in Great Britain. These children were saved by the Kindertransport rescue movement.
