The Kindertransport Association (KTA) was founded in 1990, one year after its "parent" organization, the British "Reunion of Kindertransport".   KTA has a membership of about 700 former Kinder (including some second generation) out of an estimated 2,000 who emigrated to the USA from Britain after the war.

The Association can be contacted by emailing its president, Kurt Goldberger, at

Anyone can submit a memorial testimony page to Yad Vashem's Hall of Names.  The pages, which are written to commemorate victims of the Holocaust , were mostly given by relatives of the victims, which means that, as well as being a memorial to the people who died, they are of value to genealogists.
