Jennifer Craig-Norton is an Honorary Fellow of the Parkes Institute for Jewish/non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton. She is editor (with Christhard Hoffman and Tony Kushner) of Migrant Britain: Histories and Historiographies: Essays in Honour of Colin Holmes.
"Full of fascinating, poignant material, and is carefully written
and skillfully argued. The discovery of the Polenaktion Kinder
files are an absolute treasure, giving us something that would
otherwise be lost."—Rebecca Clifford, author of Commemorating the
Holocaust
"Throughout the book, Jennifer Craig-Norton demonstrates an
extremely sensitive, nuanced approach to her source material, and
its importance to Kinder and their families. She offers an
important and convincing counter to redemptive accounts of the
Kindertransport that have dominated both secondary literature and
the popular imagination."—Shirli Gilbert, author of From Things
Lost: Forgotten Letters and the Legacy of the Holocaust
"Highly recommended."—Choice
"This review cannot do justice to the depth of material that
Craig-Norton offers and the way she balances the experiences of all
involved, especially those whose actions and feelings have been
ignored in the past. Anyone interested in learning the real history
of what occurred in England – the good and the bad – should read
The Kindertransport."—The Reporter Group
"It is an unflinching portrayal–enhanced by the judicious use of
photographs and other illustrations–of the immediate and the
lasting impacts of the transport on those involved and on
subsequent generations. As such, this book deserves to be widely
read."—John Privilege - Ulster University, HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE
STUDIES
"Jennifer Craig-Norton's The Kindertransport is the latest of such
books that attempt to provide a counternarrative to
self-congratulatory understandings of the Kindertransport.
Powerfully, Craig-Norton concludes that the celebratory and the
critical should not be mutually exclusive, and that both the
positives and negatives of this history should be
acknowledged."—Stephanie Homer, H-Judaic
