An Afternoon With John Fieldsend Bem, Kindertransportee

Tuesday 12 August 2025

At The National Holocaust Centre and Museum

Price £3.5 - £5
Times 13:00 - 14:30

Join us on Tuesday 12th August for the special opportunity to hear Kindertransportee John Fieldsend's incredible testimony.

 

Born in Czechoslovakia in 1931 and raised in Germany, John experienced growing antisemitism under the Nazi regime before being sent to Britain on the Kindertransport. His parents, who remained behind, were later murdered in the Holocaust. After the war, John received a final letter from them, which he still treasures to this day. 

 

John later became an Anglican minister, and his life story reflects a powerful journey of identity, faith and survival. His testimony is moving, thoughtful, and deeply human.
