Update November 2013:
I have now read the full article and can add some additional information here.In Bacton-on-Sea Pollatschek and Margulies did not attempt to expose Norfolk residents to anything like Jura Soyfer's political plays and instead organised a harmless "Viennese Cabaret"for the local dramatic society.Pollatschek's daughter Gerda remembers the Pollatscheks and Margulies playing bridge all the time, and ...
It certainly helped that they were excellent bridge players and hence were accepted into the circles of the "local gentry", people who, acording to Gerda knew little of what was happening in Austria or Czechoslavakia and who had never heard of Sigmund Freud.
Life in Bacton-on-Sea meant invitations to dinner and games of tennis and bridge.
In June 1940 this rural idyll was disturbed by the 'Collar the Lot' hysteria of the times and, along with many other refugees from National Socialism, Pollatschek and Margulies were rounded up, first for imprisonment in Norwich Castle, and then for internment on the Isle of Man.
