Biographical History

The ROK was an organisation that facilitated reunions and communication between former child survivors of the Holocaust who managed to escape Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia via organised transports for mainly Jewish children prior to Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939. The genesis of the group began as an idea by Bertha Leverton- a former Kind herself- to organise a reunion in 1989, marking 50 years since the arrival of the first Kindertransport to Britain. This 60th anniversary was organised in London.
