DESCRIPTION:Niko Gärtner presents: When war came\, the authorities in Lon
 don and Berlin operated evacuation schemes that sent children into billets
  and camps in rural reception areas. The children’s exodus either happen
 ed orderly and followed years of planning and discussion amongst policy ma
 kers (London)\, or haphazardly following the sudden realization that the w
 ar would not be fought\nexclusively elsewhere (Berlin). As policies\, the 
 government evacuation schemes were bold\, controversial and - considering 
 their distinct political contexts - surprisingly similar\; as were some of
  their consequences: the recipients did not accept them\nuncritically\, th
 e municipalities failed to evacuate the majority of children from the citi
 es under attack\, and private provision catered for a lot more children th
 an the official schemes.\n\nAbstract and additional information available.
