My parents my brother and I escaped the holocaust due to two Manchester Quakers, Horatio and Mary Goodwin, Jewellers of Swan St
  • Manchester, at that time living in Withington Road Whaley Range
  • They gave the”Guarantee” which made it possible for our family to escape from Vienna


  • My Brother and I were given two years free education at Friends School Wigton Cumberland, by the end of which time my Father could afford the fees and we had virtually all our education at Quaker Boarding Schools
  • This week- end my Brother and I are attending our Old Scholars reunion some fifty nine years after leaving Wigton and some twenty years after the School closed
  • Two of my Daughters went to The Mount School York and were as happy at The Mount as we were at Wigton

  • Peter Kurer
