Read about the Jewish children who left Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland without their parents in 1939, before the outbreak of World War II, and came to Britain on the Kindertransport. Find out what happened, why they had to leave their homes, how they came to Britain and what happened to them when they arrived.

Produced in conjunction with The National Archives and using much of their material including government documents and reports from the time, Stories of World War II is a fantastic series of two photographic books that help children to learn about two very different stories of evacuation.

A great tool for KS2 History projects!
