Description: | This children's book, Fridolins Wanderzirkus was published in Berlin. Illustrations are by the artist Albert Schaefer. The book was possibly produced as a supplement to the Fridolin magazine.
The book was one of the few possessions brought to London by the artist's daughter Susanne Franciska Schaefer when she fled Germany on the Kindertransport in 1939. Susanne Schaefer arrived at Liverpool Street station on 22 May 1939.
Although she was eventually reunited with her Jewish mother in London, her father Albert was left behind in Berlin. After the Second World War, Susanne and her mother remained in England. Albert, trapped in East Germany, rarely saw his wife and child again. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities London at War | Temporal: | 1937-1939 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
