V posledních týdnech českou společnost rozdělily názory na vlnu uprchlíků mířících i přes naše území do Německa. Archiv vizuální historie USC Shoah Foundation nabízí možnost reflexe současného dění pomocí vzpomínek na historické události podobného rázu. Není to totiž poprvé, co se s uprchlíky setkáváme. Například v letech 1946–1947 přes naše území přešlo až 200 000 židovských běženců, kteří prchali z Polska před nenávistí, násilím a pogromy.

Possibly the most well-known example of these rescue operations involved individual British families agreeing to “host” children from Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic through a program known as Kindertransport. Through this program, organized by Sir Nicholas Winton, an estimated 10,000 refugee children, most of them Jewish, were housed in the United Kingdom during the war. These children were able to avoid ghettoization and camp experiences; in many cases, they were the only members of their families to survive the Holocaust.
