The dangers of misremembering the Kindertransport over 80 years on

Despite the Kinder’s own diverse experiences being more widely known in the UK and the fact that some of the Kinder’s voices have even been heard in parliament, and although scholars are continuously dispelling myths about the Kindertransport, some politicians often still paint a rosy...

Gad Saad: ‘Bad things’ happened to abducted parents

Since 7 October 2023, the Beirut-born professor Gad Saad has become an outspoken figure on social media, inveighing against antisemitism, ‘wokeism’ and ‘social justice activism’ .

Stop peddling lies and libels, NYT or be remembered as today’s Der Sturmer

There is absolutely no doubt that The New York Times is – and has been for many decades now – pushing a profoundly anti-Israel narrative. Indeed, it is my opinion that if it doesn’t stop peddling these lies and libels against Israel, it will not...

AI and the Kindertransport: The stories behind the photos

BBC cash crunch is too little punishment for 30 years of anti-Israel bias

Obsession, it turns out, is not just a 1980s Calvin Klein fragrance. It is what I have for the egregious, unashamed, long-standing anti-Israel bias of the BBC. I was about to also express fury that the broadcaster has so far managed to evade punishment for...

The Trans-Siberian Kindertransport: From Austria to Russia, Japan, and America

Hiroshi Suzuki, the Japanese Ambassador to the UK, has shown his affection for British culture through his endearing bond with one of Britain’s most cherished icons – Paddington Bear.

Holidaymakers and the Kindertransport

Some British holidaymakers in late 1938 and 1939 must have seen the Kindertransports arrive in Harwich. After recently receiving a postcard of Dovercourt from the boat jetty from Steven Derby (the son of a Kindertransportee and Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) member) I was inspired...

Could ‘extremists’ just be Jews defending their right to exist?

Jewish leaders in the diaspora last week called on Israel’s President to take “urgent action” over “Jewish extremist terror” in the West Bank and many people who are passionately pro-Israel support the leaders’ stand. Me, not so much. I’m not a hard-liner and probably would...

Epic tribute to a remarkable Middle Eastern lady

When Damascus-born Rachel Elia arrived in France in 1927 to train to become a teacher, she was breaking new ground: Levantine Jewish women in those days never left home and were usually married off in their teens. But a brave new world beckoned, represented by...
