British child refugees
"One of the great things I believe history can do is put a human face on events.
Perhaps instead of being frightened by fleeing people we could all take a moment to picture those on board the City of Benares. Small children from Liverpool/ London/ Sunderland and other British cities, elderly couples fleeing for their lives, a pacifist critic of Hitler seeking safety for himself and his wife. Most of these people never found the refuge they were seeking.
