LaoThe Kindertransport started because:
- Because of the matter that Jews were being held captive in Hitler's Reich, President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States suggested a conference on July 6, 1938 with thirty one other counties to deal with the "refugee problem".
- Most countries refused to let in the new immigrants and the members could only agree to meet later.
- However, after November 9, 1938, more commonly known as the Night of The Broken Glass almost all thirty one counties refused to let in Jewish immigrants. Terrified that Hitler and his Nazi army would strike there next. After that, most Jewish families struggled to find a country that would let them in.
