Chateau de Quincy (France)
Overview
The château at Quincy-sous-Sénart, located 30 km. southeast of Paris, belonged to the Count Hubert de Monbrison before World War II. He and the Princess Irena Paley (a niece of the last Russian czar who later became his wife), used the château to house refugee girls from the Russian and Spanish civil wars. In 1939 de Monbrison was approached by his children's Jewish physician, who was a member of the board of the OSE, and asked whether he would take in a group of forty German Jewish refugee children. The count agreed and the Kindertransport of boys arrived on July 4, 1939. Quincy served as a Jewish children's home until September 1940 when, following the German occupation of France, the château was requisitioned by the German army. The boys were then relocated to other OSE homes.
Raymonde Sauviac, a teacher at the Quincy children's home, poses with a group of Jewish refugee boys who arrived on a Kindertransport from Germany. Pictured in the front row from left to right are: Henry Hoppenstandt, Ralph Moratz, Werner Gossels, Peter Gossels and Wulf Grajonca (Wolodya Grajonza).

Third row: Werner Goldschmidt, Gerhard Glass, Henri Kreft, Arno Marcuse, Egon Zwirn and Berthold Friedlander. Top: Mlle. Raymonde Sauviac (later Fanouillere).
