‘Fur das Kind’ - preview
It was with a great sense of privilege and gratitude that, as a Quaker, Audrey B Insley of South Manchester LM went to the unveiling of a sculpture in memory of the Kindertransport in Vienna in March

A young boy sits on a suitcase at the Westbahnhof, a busy railway station from which the Kinder left their homeland The young boy, Sam Morris, probably seven years old at the time that the sculpture was modelled on him, is in fact a great-grandson of one of the original Kindertransport At the unveiling Sam gave a very composed speech 'in thanksgiving for his great-grandmother's safety in England or else he would not be there with us today' The official unveiling was performed by the Austrian federal minister of transport and took place at the Westbahnhof
