Biography
Herbert Kammer was born in 1931 in Austria. In 1938-39 he went as a refugee in Belgium at Home Speyer. When Germany invaded Belgium in 1940, all of the orphanages fled. Herbert’s orphanage was part of a group that fled to France. The children spent the winter in Seyre before finally settling at Chateau de La Hille in the Pyrenees. In the summer of 1941, Herbert was part of a group of 22 children who were allowed to emigrate to the United States. With the help of HIAS, he boarded the SS Mouzinho (June 1941) in Lisbon and landed in New York in late June of 1941.
