The story of the ‘Kindertransporte’ (Kindertransports)

Hostels

   For many children and young people, hostels were the first arrival points in Great Britain. Often ordinary residential houses were temporarily transformed into hostels. Today, there are only very few places where this part of the history of these buildings is still known about. The photos show a trail of clues.
