Biography:
This project has gathered and made available online oral testimony from men and women who sought sanctuary in Scotland to escape the racism of Nazi-dominated Europe. Some came on the Kindertransport, others survived concentration camps. Many made remarkable journeys to get to safety in Scotland. Listen to the voices of the survivors – their accents will tell you a lot about their journeys. There are Scottish accents, continental lilts and sometimes a mixture of both. All the interviewees spoke about the terrible events that brought them to Scotland.
