200 jews from Germany were sent to England for their own safety from the war. The parents told their children that they were sending them to England. Some said that they were sending them on a holiday and some only said that they were sending them to England with alot of other boys and girls.
The kids went to England by train, and this was called the kindertransportation. All the kids wanted to be at the window, and all the parents ran along the train to get a last goodbye of their child. There was alot of crying and screaming from the parents and some even fainted. Every child was allowed of the nazis to bring with them one suitcase, one piece handluggage and ten riechmark. And that was all.
When they came to the German border they had soilders coming in to their compartment and they were horrible. They made them all push their things to the middle and destroyed it all.
In brittain they came to a concerntraitoncamp, they got to live in huts and it was very, very cold. The kept warm with hot bottles and many blankets. At nights there was alot of kids crying because they missed their mummys. And there was one girl how threw herself out of the window one night. And another one had a nervous breakdown and suddenly could not walk.
A thousand children a month came to brittain and most of the kids knew no english. The last kindertransport left germany on the 1st of Sepember 1939, two days before brittain went to war again against. At first all the kids recieved letters from their parents through the red cross , but as the years passed the letters stopped. Moste of the kindertransportation children never saw their parents again. But some of the kids got adopted and got a new home in England. And there was some who was reunited with their parents again. But their relationship with each other was never the same again, there was too much trauma.
If I'd lived under this time I probably would not make it. Not physically. I think it is horrible that small kids have to be seperated from their parents especially under a war and during this time when the only way to know if they are alive was letters. But on the other side I think it is really great that they invented this Kindertransportation to save young jewish kids.
You show me that you have understood what you´ve been listening to and that you can express your own thoughts about what you have heard. I do want you to think about a couple of things:
SvaraRaderaLook at the spelling of: Britain.
"under andra v kr" = "DURING the second..."
Do you remember the difference between "there is/there are"? If you do, don´t be sloppy when you use the forms, if you don´t - ask me.
Finally, I think you must have understood one thing wrong. Britain didn´t have any concentrations camps.
