My mother, Hannah Wurzburger, who has died aged 91, was an artist, printmaker and weaver who escaped Nazi Germany as a child on one of the last Kindertransport trains.

Born in Berlin to assimilated Jewish parents, Edith (nee Herrmann) and Max Gibianski, a violinist and teacher, Hannah arrived in the UK in September 1939, aged five. Her brother, Manfred, had died of measles as an infant. Both her parents, as well as aunts and uncles, would be killed by the Nazis.
