Overview

In April 1948 a fifth (and final) group of 148 child survivors arrived in England.

It was Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld who gathered the group in Prague. Many of the children had been cared for in the Jewish orphanage in Kosice.

The group left from Prague’s main station on 20 April 1948. Thru Germany they reached the port of Ostend in Belgium, from where they crossed the Channel.

A hundred of the children continued their journey to Ireland, where they were cared for in a hostel at Clonyn Castle, just outside Dublin.

The 48 members of the fifth group of the Boys who remained in London were cared for in hostels or by relatives.

Many of the children did not settle in the UK but left for Israel or Canada.

Book : The Hide-and-Seek Children by Barbara Barnett (2012)

This title (The Hide-And-Seek Children: Recollections of Jewish Survivors from Slovakia ) presents the stories of the contributors who are survivors of anti-Semitic atrocities perpetrated by Slovak fascists from 1939 until 1944 and later by the invading Nazis.
