Out of the 107 chaperones I've researched so far, some 71 survived. That means that over 66% of the adults, often Jewish adults, who accompanied the Kindertransport children to safety in the UK were saved as a result of this rescue scheme or further emigration or by surviving the concentration camps and death camps. History and popular culture though have often overlooked and even forgotten their stories. However, this all changed when I found the Kindertransport lists at Yad Vashem in 2024 because along with the lists of Jewish children escaping were the lists of the adults who aided them. Since then, I've had the honor to speak with the families of the chaperones. Many of those who survived passed away between the 1960s and 1990s, so they did not see the files I uncovered, and in many cases their actions were not publicly recognized.
