Hemel Hempstead children's home - My mother came to England from Vienna in late 1938-early 1939.

I was born a few months after her arrival and vaguely remember being in a Jewish children's home of some kind in Hemel Hempstead during the war years. I would like to find out about that institution and if any records from its period of operation still exist.
