Yes I looked up Wim van Leer just after I posted. My mum got his trade wrong. Pretty incredible stuff. He has a book that mentions Marianne which I'm tempted to see if I can get. His story is very brave, I'd like to know more about him for sure. Eva still lives in Welwyn Garden City after all this time. I've never met her, I should probably visit

Going back to your question about sponsorship. I would need to check, but I believe that the British government was not prepared to accept the financial burden of a flood of refugees, so they imposed the requirement that sponsorship and a job in the UK was required. It was pretty much left to private individuals to express the willingness to take in a refugee.

This is why one finds many unaccompanied Jewish women working as housekeepers in the 1939 register. My mother's parents employed one such women.

Doesn't sound like a very nice life for some of the Jewish Austrian Ladies! Even if they survived WW2

 I am trying to find anything about Benjamin Kleinman born in Berlin Germany in 1920.His father was Aaron Kleinman.He was a Jew and worried about what was happening in Germany and came to England somewhere between 1935 and 1939,1939 being the likely date.I do not know where he came to in England but he married a English girl and I know he had a daughter born 1949to 1951 called Rose.He died in Burnham on Sea,Somerset sometime in the 1980's.I jus cannot find anything else about him?Any help will be much appreciated.

Tree has him marrying 22 DEC 1946 • Middle St, Brighton, Sussex to Jessie Jeanette BRUKNER

Marriage Reg is on FreeBMD


Are you sure it was 1980's he died as this is the only Death Reg I can see which has him born 1912;

Deaths Sep 1982
KLEIMAN    BENJAMIN  10 SEP 1912 HARINGEY 12 1646
Reg Greater London area

I can see a Daug born 1948 but not a Rose (FreeBMD)

Or are there 2 Benjamins around?
