I wish I could find some family members and friends

I was born in Berlin in 1929, know very little about my parents’ life at that time, although I believe my father had a stocking factory, but know no details about that. Later after the Nazi rise to power, our financial situation was not good.

I went to a Jewish school called the Joseph Lehman Schule, class teacher by the name of Herr Spieldoch. My last address in Berlin was Pallasstraße 12. In May 1939 I was sent on my own to England on a Kindertransport. My father’s name was Jacques Borchardt, my mother’s name Franziska Frieda (born Pasmantier), my elder brother was Helmut Michael and my sister’s name was Lilli Flora. They all perished during the holocaust. I had a number of aunts and uncles, but don’t know their surnames (the first names I remember were Emma, Regi (Regina), Bella, Judka. I had an uncle called Adolf Pasmantier who emigrated to England, who I believe had two or three daughters, but I don’t know their names. Does anyone know about them?

I had two good girl friends at school, Beate Beer and Mirjiam Baer – don’t know what happened to them either.
