that took place during the nine months prior to the outbreak of the
Second World War The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 predominantly
Jewish children from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and
the Free City of Danzig. The children were placed in British foster
homes, hostels, schools and farms. Often they were the only members of
their families who survived the Holocaust Through a community partner
between the Long Beach Central Area Association and the Geffen Playhouse
