Our final #RefugeeWeek quote is from Kindertransportee Otto Deutsch. The memories Ive disclosed on this tape are memories that will never ever go away from me and, as Ive talked to you on the last part, when I talked about my personal life, yes, I also am not ashamed to look back, not because Im conceited, but with great pride. Without much help, Ive succeeded. Succeeded, well, in a ---, to become just an ordinary person. The quote is from his interview as part of Refugee Voices produced by the AJR - refugeevoices.co.uk/. The interviews are available to listen to in our Reading Room. Otto arrived in England on the Kindertransport from Vienna six days before his 11th birthday in July 1939. Together with his cousin he was placed with a family in Morpeth before coming to London to find work when he turned 16.
