Child Survivors' Association

On 1 January 2007 the Child Survivors’ Association of Great Britain (CSAGB) became a special interest group of the AJR and CSA members were invited to join the AJR.

Founded in June 1995, the CSA holds regular meetings for child survivors of the Holocaust, and their partners. CSA members experienced Nazi persecution in Europe, and arrived in Great Britain on the Kindertransports, or having survived in ghettos, in hiding, or in concentration camps and are drawn from places as far apart as Antwerp, Krakow and Kiev.

Members receive the regular Newsletter, which for those living outside the London area, forms the link with the CSA.

The CSA is a member of the World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust which holds annual conferences in North America and elsewhere. At these Conferences which have taken place for more than fifteen years, 500 or more child survivors and partners, meet during a long weekend. During the last few years Conferences have taken place in Amsterdam, Dearborn (near Detroit), Jerusalem and Washington D.C.

The CSA is also a representative member of the European Association of Child Survivors of the Holocaust which includes large groups based behind the former Iron Curtain.
