Spotlight on: Ilse Beres

Ilse escaped Vienna on the Kinderstransport but was in correspondence with her mother and father throughout their humiliation, persecution and then murder by the Nazis. Ilse’s son Martin tells the story of how his family fled Ukraine in the 1890s to escape anti-semitic Pogroms only to face the Holocaust in Austria a generation later. You can find out more about Ilse’s story here. Book Martin and our other speakers using this form here.
