| Description |
30 June 2018. Kindertransport – The Arrival. A bronze memorial sculpture by Frank Meisler. It's in Hope Square, a paved courtyard outside Liverpool Street station, London. It commemorates the 10,000 mostly Jewish children from central Europe who escaped the Nazis. The majority of them travelled to the Hook of Holland, then by ferry across the North Sea to the port of Harwich, and train to London. § Wikipedia page about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Meisler" rel="nofollow">Frank Meisler</a>. § About the kindertransport on the official <a href="http://frank-meisler.com/kindertransport/" rel="nofollow">Frank Meisler website</a>.

On 29 September 2015, the website <a href="http://www.historyandpolicy.org/policy-papers/papers/history-matters-but-which-one-every-refugee-crisis-has-a-context" rel="nofollow">History and Policy</a> published a paper by Jessica Reinisch on the current migrant crisis with thousands of migrants coming to Europe. She suggested that historical comparisons: "... are often stripped of their context, and are as a result counter-productive or misleading." She gives examples: "Both the Kindertransport of 1938 and Hungarian refugee crisis of 1956 have been misleadingly cited as precedents to be emulated by policy-makers today." "Rather than drawing a straight line between two superficially similar events, we should pay more attention to the context of refugee crises, and ask what is distinctive about them and what can help us understand the present." Challenging arguments. Yet despite this, others do draw - if not a straight-line precedent - then at least insist on the moral example.
