This collection contains papers (photocopies) relating to the fate of the Jewish family of Richard and Gisela Bernstein and their children Heinz and Susanne. Whilst the children emigrated to England as Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi regime, their parents could not escape deportation to Auschwitz despite them moving to Oslo.
Included are birth and death certificates, correspondence from the parents in Prague and later Oslo to their children in England, Red Cross letters sent to the parents in Oslo, photographs and Susanne Medas' personal accounts concerning her family's life in the 1920s and 1930s and her experiences as a Kindertransportee. Also included are lists of Czech children emigrating on Kindertransports.
