Interviewee Summary

Henry Wuga MBE was born in 1924 in Nuremberg to a Jewish mother and non-Jewish father in the catering trade. He was educated at the Realschule, then at all Jewish school in F?rth. He was sent on the Kindertransport in 1939 to Glasgow and was looked after by the local Jewish community. He was charged with ‘corresponding with the enemy’ in 1940 and interned on Isle of Man, though below age. He returned to Glasgow and set up successful catering business. He experienced no prejudice in Scotland, which he describes as very inclusive, though shocked by Catholic/Protestant divide. He was awarded an MBE for work with limbless ex-servicemen. He married a Kindertransportee and they have two children.

"The whole reason that we have this interview is to let future generations know what kind of life of we had so they should have a better life, not have to suffer through all the traumas we had to suffer. As time goes on the memory of those days and the importance of it will dim, and this programme will help keep it in people's minds and hopefully let future generations have a better life. It should be a better world."

- Arnold Weinberg, AJR Refugee Voices Testimony Archive.

"The distribution of life chances in this world is often a very random bus"

- Peter Pultzer.
