The boy they advertised in the Manchester Guardian
In 1938, Jewish families were scrambling to get out Vienna. In desperation, children were advertised in the Manchester Guardian.
One advert read: I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent boy, 11, Viennese of good family - Borger.
In 2021, Julian Borger discovered that his father, Robert, was the intelligent boy, aged eleven in the advert.
