Couple made new lives in Norfolk after escaping Nazi Europe
“This meant very little to me at the time but sounded quite romantic,” said Thomas. “Now of course I look back and realise what Trudi and Erhart must have gone through when they fled in 1938 and arrived in Norfolk. I also admire my grandparents for taking them in to their home in Norwich and later Thorpe End.” Erhart was a man of much standing, being a doctor of law in Prague and by profession a barrister. Mystery still surrounds their escape from Hitler’s “mad dogs”, but it was our former editor Tom Copeman who came across them in the restaurant at Cromer.
