Greetings and welcome to episode 58! I had the great honor to talk with Esther Starobin, who shared her compelling story of surviving the Holocaust through a short-lived, British supported program called the Kindertransport  ("children's transport") that helped to evacuate Jewish children from Nazi Germany.  Only about 10,000 children were fortunate enough to participate in the program; Esther was one of them. Esther shares her amazing story, and also reflects on some lessons from her experience that are applicable today. The picture that accompanies this episode, by the way, shows a young Esther with the family that so generously opened their doors to her upon her arrival in Britain. Esther has told her story in the Holocaust Museum's First Person series of conversations with Holocaust survivors if you'd like to hear more; and you can learn about Esther here. And if you are interested in learning more about the Kinder Transport, here's a Wikipedia link. I have known Esther for many years and I know what a remarkable woman she is; I am very grateful to have the opportunity to share her story.  See you soon with a new episode, and thank you Esther for taking the time to speak with me.

Esther Starobin on SURVIVING THE HOLOCAUST: THE KINDERTRANSPORT

Esther Starobin and her three sisters left Germany for Great Britain in 1939 as part of a special rescue of Jewish children known as the Kindertransport, or children’s transport. In this episode, Esther discusses how she learned the fate of her parents and brother who remained in Germany after she and her sisters had left.
