The Fate Of Refugee Families Is In America’s Hands

On the eve of World War II many parents faced an impossible choice: stay with their children as the Nazis closed in, or send them off, to take their chances on their own. The goodbyes would be the last time those daughters and sons saw their moms and dads, many of whom were murdered. More than 10,000 children made it to England and other countries as part of the kindertransports or children’s transport, a life-saving program.
Today there’s a new kind of kindertransport needed, one that focuses on reuniting separated children and their parents. In war-torn places around the world, mothers and fathers have sent their children away, with the hope that they can survive and find safety.
