Why a Group of Bible Students Saved Jewish Children in WWII

The Kindertransport was an initiative whereby nearly 10,000 Jewish children were taken in by families and foster homes across the UK to save them from the Holocaust. The Christadelphians, a denomination of Protestant Christianity, were a small group of people who dedicated themselves to find homes and sponsors for roughly 250 of these children. This illustrated talk explores the Christadelphian’s motivations, why they opened their homes and sacrificed their personal comforts for children they had never met.

8pm. FREE. Rugby Christadelphians, CV21 2LE. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1112895172419
