This article is a poetic rendition of a recorded and transcribed oral life history of John (Hans) Hanauer, a Holocaust-Kindertransport survivor. The aim of the poem is to reproduce in poetic form the experiences of the Kindertransport— the transportation of German-Jewish children, parted from their parents, to England just before the outbreak of the Second World War. Using an arts-based research approach, the poem offers insight into this lesser known Holocaust experience and adds to the literature of Holocaust testimony.
