Currently, when children flee from bombing in wartime, they are called refugees. In Great Britain, at the start of the Second World War, they were called evacuees. Between 1939 and 1945, there was a great effort by the Anglo-Jewish establishment to provide Jewish religious education for both children evacuated from big cities, and also refugee children who had escaped just before the war started. I have previously written about the report of the Joint Emergency Committee.
This 56-page booklet, produced for Pesach (Passover) in 1945, was the joint work of some very distinguished Anglo-Jewish educators, starting with Rabbi Kopul Rosen on “The meaning of Passover To-Day.” It also includes contributions from various youth movements, including Jewish Youth Study Groups and Habonim.
