Two elements of the story particularly remained with me.

o Her father ,a successful Austrian banker , in arranging Lore's inclusion in the Transport exhausted his ability to cope and thereafter was an ineffective shadow of his former self.

o When they finally got to Britain both parents , as I alluded to above ,were settled with a middle class family as servants. And in that role firmly made to " know their place". Upstairs and downstairs didn't mix.

Read Lore Segal on the Kindertransport.

One side bar, described dispassionately. When settled in with her UK host it

was not a cherished guest. She and her parents who got out somehow
