85 years after the Kindertransport, children continue to flee their homes in search of safety. This special panel brings together expertise and personal experience spanning nine decades.

Lady Milena Grenfell-Baines was one of 669 children rescued by Nicholas Winton from Czechoslovakia in 1939. In The Kindertransport: What Really Happened Dr Andrea Hammel explores some of the uncomfortable truths behind the complex visa waiver scheme that brought some 10,000 children and young people to the UK. And in Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain Dr Eithne Nightingale curates oral histories from 1930 to the present day. They join educator Trudy Gold.
