Descripción
In 1939 there were about 60-70,000 refugees from Germany and Austria who had sought refuge in Britain. The Quakers assisted in this, although their contribution has not yet been fully recognised. The Quakers contributed to the various organizational tasks connected with the Kindertransport. One way of facilitating entry into Britain was to offer a place in a school. 100 scholarships were provided at Quaker boarding school so that refugees could attend these schools
