Esther Simpson

Adam was put in an internment camp on the Isle of Man.

Almost three months later, a woman named Esther Simpson received a letter from the camp, and she realized she should have made more efforts for him earlier.

Dear Miss Simpson, Dr. Leonhard Adam and his brother left for overseas, either Canada or Australia.

They were not told whether.

Yours sincerely, Carl Wiener, 9th of August 1940.

Esther Simpson had been working for the Academic Assistance Council in the UK since 1933.

Like Camilla Wedgwood, who we heard about in the first episode, Esther Simpson worked tirelessly to help people fleeing fascism in Nazi Germany.

The council focused its efforts on academics and also, like Wedgwood, worked with limited resources in the face of thousands of requests.
