From Someone Who Was on the Train

Moderated by

Sunday, May 18, 2025
2:30 PM PACIFIC TIME
The Nazi government started its program of ethnic cleansing in 1933. In the months prior to the start of WWII, 10,000 children left their parents and escaped the Nazis on the Kindertransport, a series of train rides to safe havens in Europe where good Samaritans took them in. Those that still live are at least in their 90’s, our speaker, Josef Eisinger, just celebrated his 101st birthday! He was 15 years old when he left Vienna on a Kindertransport.
The ability to hear from someone who actually rode on the train is fast disappearing. This presentation may be the last opportunity to share this experience.
The presentation will include the grandson of another Kindertransport survivor, in a conversation moderated by journalist Benyamin Cohen.
