The rescue mission saw almost 10,000 unaccompanied and mostly Jewish children brought to Britain from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland between December 1938 and May 1940 as they escaped Nazi persecution in what became known as the Kindertransport.

On December 12, 1938 Lowestoft welcomed over 500 refugees as part of the Kindertransport from Vienna.
