Having been arrested by the Nazi's and imprisoned in Sachenhausen, Felix Reich was inexplicably released and managed to arrange safe passage for himself and 10 of his school children on the kindertransport to England. With them was a 11 year old girl who was not a pupil at the school and who was not Jewish: she was in fact the Aryan daughter of a senior Nazi officer. It is likely that the officer wanted to smuggle his daughter out of Berlin and that it was he who released Felix Reich from Sachenhausen Camp.

The 10 Jewish children were sent to the Residential Jewish School for the Deaf in Nightingale Road, Balham, London.

Felix Reich was subsequently interned on the Isle of Man.

After the war he remained in England but did not maintain contact with any of the children he saved.

He died in Manchester in 1964.
