Closed petition Clean up the Kindertransport memorials.

Closed on

Kindertransport is the name given to the rescue mission that took place nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Free City of Danzig.

Two memorial statues were built. One stands outside Liverpool Street Station in London, another on the station concourse to commemorate this event. Sadly Both memorials are being used as unofficial bins and seats by the public.

We are asking that someone take responsibility for the memorials and ensure that they are respected appropriately.
