Kitchener Camp

Kitchener Camp was a temporary refuge established in 1939 in Salisbury, England, primarily to host Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution before World War II. Named after Lord Kitchener, the camp provided shelter, safety, and support for hundreds of Jewish men, many of whom were skilled workers or professionals. It aimed to offer a safe haven and facilitate their eventual emigration to other countries. Although short-lived, the camp played a vital role in rescuing individuals from imminent danger and contributed to broader efforts to assist those fleeing Nazi oppression during the early years of the war.
