All Passion Spent

Sir – Following on from your October editorial, you might be interested to know that I am one of Diana Mosley’s grandsons and that I married a daughter of a Kindertransport child (Hans-Adof Isenthal) in 1990. Naturally we didn’t share her politics. She and my wife had no problems with each other, though initially I thought that they wouldn’t get on. Our four children were made welcome in Diana’s Paris flat without any lingering antisemitism on my granny’s part. While Diana’s politics and views are incomprehensible to us, she did not actually kill anyone. My father-in-law has been too hurt and is too proud to claim compensation for his family’s deaths and property losses in Berlin. His father, Rafael Isenthal, was sent to Terezin and then finally to Auschwitz at the end of 1944. With best wishes for the work you do. Patrick Guiness
