Hedwig


Hello!
My name is Hedwig Klima (in Czech, Hedvika Klimova) and I come from the Czech Republic.

I live in Leamington and I go to Trinity Catholic School. I came to England in the summer holidays.

My mum is Czech too. My Dad's parents came to England so my Dad was born in Bristol. My grandparents are Czech, my great grandparents maybe too, and my great great grandparents probably not, - perhaps only a few of them.

My grandparents came to England because the Czech Republic was communist. Both my grandmas were born nine years before the Second World War.

Germans in Czech Republic


My grandmother had a friend, who was send to concentration camp with her family, because they was Jewish. Germans didn?t like Jewish. They think that they are best and other people aren?t real people and they must serve them. My grandma?s friend survives, but her family not. Most people died in these camps because there was a bad food, water, and other things needed for survive.

My grandma also can speak German, because everybody had to learn this language in school.

Molly M


Hello my name is Molly I go to Trinity school in Leamington Spa.

For the past ten weeks I have been helping to create an online newspaper called moving times. My team and I have been interviewing people from different cultures, trying to find out their family?s past. My family came from Ireland; my task was to find out why they came over to England, how they came and what happened when they came to England.
