I am looking for information about 3 boys, probable surname Strauss, who were brought to England from Holland between the months of January and September 1939. My Aunt and Uncle Leopold and Daja Strauss were told that these were their sons whom they had sent for safely to Holland from Germany after Krystal Nacht late in 1938. Upon their arrival in England it transpired that they were not their sons. My family has no knowledge of what happened to these children. I wonder whether there is some way of finding out what happened to them.  

Gila (I assume that's your name since you didn't sign your name or location on your posting), What a terrible story! I'm not clear about what you're asking. Do you want to find what happened to the real sons of your relatives or the ones who arrived in the UK? It's possible that our list can help you with the latter. If your aunt and uncle's children disappeared and never made it to England, that would be a subject for another list.

Hi, This message came to me in error although I hope you mange to find some information about these 3 boys. Best wishes, Helen Price

I have just looked at the WJR website and it has very good information. They started brining children over in 1938 and there is a contact number for records.
