Following the children from Piotrków Trybunalski. After collecting German and British documents it is now the time to look through the Swedish one. When the group from hut 211 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp (called Kinderheim) arrived with UNRRA White Boat S/S Kastelholm to Malmö, the group was divided into smaller groups. One of the groups, 40 persons (25 children), was placed at Sundsgården, close to Helsingborg. Most of the children left Sweden for Eretz Israel during 1946-1948. Only eight children were adopted. Most of them went to Ireland by the Gentiles...
