Doenitz, Nuremberg Trials

As the Allies advanced across Europe at the end of the Second World War, they came across concentration camps filled with sick and starving prisoners. The first major camp to be liberated was Majdanek near Lublin, Poland in July 1944.

Nearly 10,000 children fleeing persecution were brought to Britain on the Kindertransport in 1938 and 1939. Lord Alf Dubs and Sir Eric Reich were two of those children.

In 1938 and 1939, nearly 10,000 children fleeing the persecution of Jews in Greater Germany (Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia), were brought to Britain on the Kindertransport ('children’s transports').
