6. They departed in haste. Fur, fur gesunterheit, Gott soll dich beglicken… - Yiddish song Mary Arnold's father taught her the day before she left Vienna.

7. Dovercourt. The first transports are housed in empty summeer camps on England's east coast, winter 1938-1939. In Dovercourt the winter sea was like God's mercy vast and wild - Karen Gershon.

7A. Foster-home stories. Many children are taken into group homes. Many others are sent, alone to foster homes - their stories are all unique. Healthy Czecho-Slovakian girl, 13, only child, seeks home with good-hearted family… - ad in Jewish Chronicle, London, February 1939.

"I keep remembering the young mother who placeed her childn on the train and then took her back; she repeated this three times... The Kindertransport exhibit explores a little-known chapter of Holocaust history and offers the viewer an opportunity to meet the Kinder and learn their story."
