Thank you Gerry for this information, I didn?t know. Many children and 
people was been refugees, as well in during the II WW. I remember when I was 
a child an atmosphere of mystery around certain things, nobody would talk 
about. I remember a family who had a refugied child a young girl, blonde, 
from Austria, and I was asking who is? the explanations was always not 
precise? remember that Franco was supported the Nazis and Fascists?. years 
of horror!

Cheers
Lluis
