Germany has agreed to make a one-off payment to surviving children who fled Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport trains to the UK. The roughly 1,000 survivors, most of them Jewish and still living in Britain, will receive a one-time settlement of €2,500 each in compensation for their suffering. The life-saving mission came in response to Kristallnacht, a pogrom against Jews in Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The agreement was reached on the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport rescue mission.
