Help Bring the story of Camp Kitchener to LBI New York
The Kitchener Camp has been largely forgotten today, but in 1939, this derelict army base on the Kent coast in southeastern England became the scene of an extraordinary rescue in which 4,000 men were saved from the Holocaust.
The Leave to Land traveling exhibition was authored by Clare Weissenberg and was based on materials collected through The Kitchener Camp Project, a unique online resource that brings together archival records and family treasures to build a moving and compelling picture of this unlikely sanctuary.
The exhibition premiered at the Jewish Museum in London in 2022, and LBI New York is working to bring a version of the exhibition to the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan in 2024. Your gift will help make this possible.
