Into the Arms of Strangers collects firsthand recollections of the Kindertransport, the organized rescue that moved Jewish children from continental Europe to Britain in the run-up to World War II. Contributors include survivors, rescuers, parents and foster families who describe the dislocation, hope and loss at the heart of the evacuation.

The book blends personal testimony with historical context: it shows how rescue networks operated, how children adapted to new homes, and how many lives were altered permanently by separation and survival. Narratives range from intimate memories to accounts of the people who coordinated travel and shelter.

Suitable for readers of Holocaust history, refugee studies, and oral history, these stories illuminate the human consequences of rescue and exile while preserving voices that shaped 20th‑century memory.
