Stories from willesden lane

2018 marks the eightieth anniversary of the Kindertransport, the programme whereby almost 10,000 mostly Jewish child refugees from central Europe found sanctuary in the UK before the Second World War.

To commemorate this significant milestone, the Holocaust Educational Trust, with support from the Association of Jewish Refugees and The J Isaacs Charitable Trust, has launched Stories from Willesden Lane, a unique educational project for schools in and around London.
