Description: | Grete Glauber came to Britain from Vienna in Austria in 1939, on a Kindertransport. She was fostered by Olive Rudkin, a Quaker school teacher in Enfield. Grete's mother, Else, did not survive the war, and Grete was adopted by Olive Rudkin, later becoming a school teacher. The inventory from April 1939 lists everything that Grete brought with her to start her new life. The identity card was issued to all children who came to Britain on a Kindertransport. The Refugee Children's Movement assumed responsibility for Jewish refugee children. This letter raises concerns about Grete's lack of Jewish education under Olive Rudkin's care, although it notes that Grete is happy and well cared for. Grete's own school essay reports some of her feelings on first arriving in England, and how different it was from life in Vienna. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright holder unknown. | Subjects: | Public services Communities | Temporal: | 1943-09-04 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
