KLV-Lager Directory
The evacuation of children in Germany during the World War II was designed to save children in Nazi Germany from the risks associated with the aerial bombing of cities, by moving them to areas thought to be less at risk. The German term used for this was Kinderlandverschickung (abbreviated to KLV), a short form of Verschickung der Kinder auf das Land (relocation of children to the countryside).
Notes: From early 1943 KLV-Lagers within Bohemia and Moravia used alphanumeric identification prefixes: 'Pro' = Protektorate, and later 'BM' = Bohemia & Moravia. Source: Hammonds (2019)
