Bringing 10,000 unaccompanied German and Austrian children to Britain in 1939, the Kindertransport has long been a source of national pride. Recent research has uncovered an inconvenient truth: many children suffered abuse, estrangement and forced conversions to Christianity. Read Between the Lines focuses on Martha Braun; taken from her loving Hamburg family into a Manchester home where she was barred from school and made to be their unpaid servant until, in her own words, “I escaped.” Leon Duval, tour guide at Yad Vashem, joins educator Trudy Gold to share this vital story.
