Artwork in progress
"One of my child models is six years old. Full of energy and enthusiasm, he can hardly stand still for a minute. It is sobering to think that the Kindertransport refugees were as young as four.
Some of today’s child refugees are even younger.
It is a privilege to work on this important and hopefully thought-provoking memorial."
- Sculptor Ian Wolter, Saffron Walden
