They Escaped The Holocaust As Children. Now They Have A Message For Trump.
“Keep the doors open,” Kindertransport survivors warn.
Jewish Holocaust survivors who fled Nazi Germany and other countries as children have a request for President Donald Trump: “Keep the doors open to refugees.”
In a letter to Trump released Monday, more than 200 family members and survivors of the Kindertransport ― a program that sent around 10,000 Jewish child refugees to Britain from Nazi Germany and other European nations ― urged Trump to continue to resettle refugees, especially children, in America.

The letter notes that Kindertransport survivors who ended up in the U.S. “have become productive American citizens, including two Nobel Laureates, many successful business people, film and theater professionals, teachers, artists, writers, doctors, and philanthropists.”
They are pleading for Trump to open America’s doors to child refugees from Central America, Syria, and more.
“In Syria, it’s a civil war, cities are being bombed, children are getting killed, and in South and Central America, many children trying to get to the U.S. are in dire situations,” Hacker said. “No one sends their child away, especially traveling alone, without extreme need, worry, and fear.”
