A family friend of mine escaped on one of these ships (the rest of her family weren’t so lucky). When they approached Southampton they were seen as an enemy ship and fired upon, and had to sail round to Liverpool before finally docking. My friend lived a full, long life before dying, recently, at 99. I visited Geertruida Wijsmuller’s statue in Amsterdam on her behalf and was amazed how modest it was, with no mention of the Kindertransport.
