"I know that Dad had preceded Mother and me to England and so I think that we went to join
him at the Kitchener camp for refugees in Ramsgate on the southern coast of England until he
was interned on the Isle of Man from mid 1940 until November 1941. Mother and I were at the
Highbury Children's Home, first in London and then evacuated to Bedford. Helen was born in
August 1940 and Daddy didn't see her until Nov. 1941. Mother worked as a children's help at the home. Her cousin, Justin Oettinger, offered Daddy a job in Sheffield and that's how he was released and we were reunited there in February 1942." - Roseruth, January 2002 |
