I am keen to find about someone I met during WW2 - I was a child and so was she.
She was from Germany at a time when it probably would not be possible to sail or fly as a civilian.
The War was I think, actually just over - she was about 5 and I was about 6. I remember her vividly and have always wondered about her and what happened to her.
She may well have stayed in England. She may well have returned to Germany later. I wondered if she was a Jewish escapee although she didn't, in retrospect, look Jewish at all.
I remember her being brought to our house to meet my parents - she curtsied as she greeted my mother. [I remember getting into a lot of trouble when she left because I had giggled when she curtsied!]
I have her name but probably shouldn't put it on here as she may well be alive. She is not a relative but I am just curious to know what happened to her. No one ever explained why she was at our house - I think a neighbouring family may have been looking after her. She couldn't speak English.
Would be grateful to know of any websites that might be helpful. She doesn't come up on ancestry.
