King Charles visits Kindertransport refugees on 85th anniversary of Nazi attacks on Jews
  • 6 months ago
The King has met with a group of Kindertransport refugees, who were rescued as children from the Nazis, in commemoration of the 85th Anniversary of Kristallnacht. Translated to Night of Broken Glass, Kristallnacht was a wave of Nazi-coordinated violence against Jews across Germany which began on November 9 1938 that is so called because of the debris left from the destruction of Jewish properties and synagogues. As a result of the violence, the British government began to allow unaccompanied Jewish children into the country as refugees, a movement that came to be known as the Kindertransport.Source: PA
