Karen Gershon

Karen Gershon, born Kaethe Loewenthal (29 August 1923 – 24 March 1993) was a German-born British writer and poet. She escaped to Britain in December 1938.

Her book We came as Children: A Collective Autobiography uses a number of testimonies of kindertransport to construct a single account.[1]

One of her best-known poems, I was not there, describes her feelings of guilt at not being there when her parents were murdered by the Nazis.
