According to these narratives, the Kindertransport was a straightforward act of rescue and salvation, with little room for dealing with deeper, more complex issues. Craig-Norton reveals that many children experienced difficulties with settlement, they were treated inconsistently by refugee agencies, their parents had various motives for giving them up, and their carers had complex reasons for taking them in. Against the grain of many other narratives, Craig-Norton emphasizes the use of archival sources, many of them newly discovered testimonial accounts and letters from Kinder to their families. This documentary evidence together with testimonial evidence allows Craig-Norton to offer compelling insights into the nature of interactions between children and their parents and caregivers. She shows readers a more nuanced and complete picture of the Kindertransport" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Kindertransports (Rescue operations) 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Jews $z Germany $x History $y 1933-1945. 650 0 $a Jewish children $z Germany $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jewish refugees $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jewish children $z Great Britain $v Biography. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Craig-Norton, Jennifer, author. $t Kindertransport $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2019] $z 9780253042248 $w (DLC) 2018050672 830 0 $a Studies in antisemitism (Bloomington, Ind.) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013802.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=63FDA26CFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
