Recording from the webinar "Eva Paddock's Story: Rescue from the Holocaust" from 24 March 2026.
The webinar began with a short introduction delivered by the organizers, followed by the main part: a one-hour conversation with Eva Paddock. The discussion focused on education and how to start conversations with students about altruism and empathy. Eva shared her reflections on how being a Kindertransport child was not central to her identity until later in life, when her story gradually began to unfold.
Participants were invited to ask questions throughout via the chat, which were addressed during the discussion.
In the second part, Dr. Amy Williams presented the broader historical context, drawing on her expertise in Kindertransport research to frame the rescue story.
The session concluded with a presentation of teaching resources—including a timeline, video, classroom exercises, and photo gallery—followed by Stephan Rauschenbach sharing his recent, first-hand classroom experiences using these materials.
