The Kindertransport program was initiated following Kristallnacht when the British government eased immigration restrictions, allowing unaccompanied Jewish children under 17 years of age to seek refuge in England. Homeless children, orphans, and children whose parents were in concentration camps were given priority for the program, which was expected to be temporary until the crisis had passed.
The program did not include Jewish children's parents, Jews who had converted to Christianity, Jewish scientists or individuals with advanced degrees. However, it did include Jewish children without other relatives, as they were seen as the most vulnerable and in need of immediate protection.
