Detention of Deborah Schweitzer at Pentonville Prison in or around 1939 and subsequent deportation back to Berlin
Dear Her Majesty's Prison & Probation Service,
I am researching into a relative. Deborah Schweitzer and her son Voodi travelled by train from Berlin to Euston in 1939. Upon discovering that they were without the requisite paperwork, Voodi was put into foster care whilst his mother was put on remand in Pentonville Prison. After 6 months she alone was sent back to Berlin.
Any further information would be amazing
Yours faithfully,
Katy Barry
