Sarah's amazing story...
On Monday 9th March 2015 parent Rebecca Swann came to our year 8 history class to reveal an amazing family story. She began talking to our Year 8 class..
"I am here to tell you the story about a lady I knew who was rescued from Nazi Germany. She travelled to England by the Kinder Transport. Her name was Sarah- she had a very difficult early life but was lucky as she survived. She came to England and met my mother’s favourite cousin and married him. They had 2 children, 4 grandchildren and now there are 4 great grandchildren. So that is 10 people who wouldn’t have existed if this story hadn’t happened. Sarah was born in Hamburg in 1924. She was the 4th child. 5 years later she had a baby sister Yetty. Her parents were originally from Poland but they met in Vienna, Austria so she was not considered as German even though she was born there. She existed only on her parent’s passport as a non-German Jew. She said that they were stateless." The class were captivated. If you would like to know more about Sarah's story you can access it on the documents below.
