My mother and I travelled the route Prague, Gydnia, Kiel Canal and London. We also stayed at the hostel in Highgate before travelling to Dollar, Scotland, in Novemeber 1938. My father had been taken to Scotaln three weeks before because he was considered highly endangered. In April of next year we were in the first group of Sudeten refugees to travel to Canada where we were settled on abandoned homesteads near the village of St. Walburg. All this is documented in my book; Uprooted and Transplanted: A Sudeten Odyssey from Tragedy to Freedom (Ginger Press 2000) The book has now been turned into a documentary film called Hitler's German Foes made by Czech Television in 2007 I also was a Sudeten refugee.

Perhaps you, and she, would be interested to read an account I published in another journal, about Prague in 1938-39 as seen through the eyes of the American minister to Czechoslovakia: http://www.unc.edu/depts/diplomat/AD_Issues/amdipl_9/bridges_carr.html Sincerely, Peter Bridges Dear Professor Kessler,
