Description: | This letter was written by Grete to Olive, her foster mother, whilst she was staying in Dartmouth as an evacuee. She was sent to Dartmouth not long after arriving in England on the Kindertransport as a refugee from Vienna. In the letter she comments that she has not been to church that day because of the rain. Grete was Jewish, which was why she had left Austria. However, Olive Rudkin was a Quaker and it is clear that Grete's life in England was not that of a typical Jewish girl. In 1943 Olive received a letter from the Refugee Children's Movement expressing their concern at the fact that Grete was not receiving any instruction in the Jewish religion. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright holder unknown. | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 1939-11-26 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
