The Harwich Kindertransport Memorial and Learning Trust (HKMLT) is pleased to present a very special exhibition at the Harwich Arts & Heritage Centre from Wednesday 24th – Wednesday 31st January 2024. The exhibition, “Safe Haven – Leslie Brent” highlights his amazing journey on the Kindertransport – one of the largest acts of rescue in the whole of the Nazi era – and the life he made for himself in Britain. He was one of the 10,000 mostly Jewish children who were sent to safety in Britain from 1938-1939, and like many of the children, he arrived in the Essex port of Harwich.
The exhibition coincides with and commemorates the 85th Anniversary of the Kindertransport as well as Holocaust Memorial Day 2024.
HKMLT unveiled a memorial ‘Safe Haven’ on the Harwich quayside in September 2022. For further information please visit our website www.kindertransport-memorial.org
We look forward to welcoming you to the exhibition.
