Special Exhibition Opening Program: Visit on Wednesday, September 17 at 7 p.m. as Melissa Hacker, executive director of the Kindertransport Association, joins us to honor the extraordinary efforts of those who saved thousands of Jewish children and reflects on the enduring impact of their actions. Guests are invited to a 6 p.m. reception and will have the opportunity to view the special exhibition before and after the program.
Exhibition Summary: Kindertransport – Rescuing Children on the Brink of War showcases the astonishing rescue effort that, in nine months, brought thousands of unaccompanied Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe to the United Kingdom. Through personal artifacts, stories, and firsthand testimony,
those who lived through the “Kindertransport,” German for “children’s transport,” tell its history.
The exhibition offers a moving look at the rescue effort, the painful choices parents made to send their children to safety, and the lives their children began in the United Kingdom. This exhibition serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of honoring the legacy of those who endured unimaginable suffering.
Why It Matters Today
Survivors of the Kindertransport made their way to the United States and eventually to North Texas. This exhibition honors their stories and connects our local community to this powerful chapter of Holocaust history.
