The Kindertransport Association (KTA) is a nonprofit organization working to connect survivors of the Kindertransports, their families, and their descendants to community support. They aim to educate and inform the public about the Kindertransports as an important part of Holocaust history, and support and advocate for child refugees and children in need today. The KTA publishes a quarterly journal, Kinder-Link, and the Speaker’s Bureau provides materials and speakers for public forums, schools, synagogues, museums, and community centers. The KTA provides an opportunity for its members to finally express and share feelings often long suppressed; form new friendships; enhance understanding between Kinder and their families; and give meaning to a common historical experience.
