The Holocaust and Wales: Kindertransport Lesson 2
Fleeing across Europe to escape the Nazis, about 10,000 Jewish children arrived in Great Britain between December 1938 and May 1940 on 'Kindertransport' (Children’s Transport). Most of them had to travel without their parents or other family members. Several of them ended up in Wales. In this collection of resources, we explore some of the stories of child refugees who came on Kindertransport to Wales.Image above: Dorothy Fleming (left) and her sister Lisi (right), 1938. © From the collection at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum, UK. Kindertransport lesson 2: The Journey to Britain. This second lesson explores the Kindertransport journey of a young Austrian Jewish girl, Dorothy Fleming. She made this journey to Britain in 1938 before eventually settling with her family in Cardiff.

Hughesovka - Welsh Migration and...
This resource invites learners to approach the history of Welsh industrialisation from a different perspective. The city of Hughesovka, today’s Donetsk in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine (former Russian Empire), was founded by Welsh and British workers. Using Hughesovka as a case study, the resource aims to enable learners to develop a more nuanced and critical perspective on the history of industrialisation in their country and to critically engage with archival material.Authors: Clara Defachel and Dr Victoria Donovan, University of St Andrews, Scotland. People’s Collection Wales.The source material (photographs and other images) within this resource comes from the Hughesovka Research Archive, held at the Glamorgan Archives, and these are reproduced here with their kind permission.
