Edith Kessler’s Kindertransport route to Britain

After Kristallnacht, Edith Kessler sought documents and visas to leave Austria. She obtained a British domestic work permit but struggled to obtain the visa. An elderly Jewish man whom she had helped in Vienna arranged for her to accompany a Kindertransport. She left Vienna on 7 March 1939, travelled to Hook of Holland, crossed by boat to Harwich, arrived in Britain on 15 March 1939, and was met at Liverpool Street Station by Hilda Winn, who took her to Romford, Essex.
