Holocaust survivor Vera Schaufeld has been hailed for her ‘strength and courage’, following her death aged 95.
The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) paid tribute to Ms Schaufeld, calling her an ‘extraordinary ambassador’ who ‘inspired countless people’.
Ms Schaufeld, who was born in Prague in 1930, was told when she was nine years old that she had to move to England on her own following the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia.
She saw her parents for the last time in 1939, shortly before she fled the country on Sir Nicholas Winton’s Kindertransport.
