大象传媒

Born in 1924, Marianne Philipps grew up in a Jewish family in the German capital, Berlin.

But at 14 and with war in Europe looming, she became one of about 10,000 children who escaped the Nazis in the Kindertransport scheme, not knowing if she would ever see her family again.

Interviewed for Holocaust Memorial Day, the 100-year-old told the 大象传媒: "I now realise that wasn't a hug you give a child, that was a hug of farewell."

Marianne has chronicled her life story in My Voice,, external produced by Manchester-based Jewish charity The Fed.
