Thank you @HolocaustUK and @TheAJR_ for posting an excerpt of my interview with Vera Schaufeld for @AJRefugeeVoices. Vera poignantly describes the hope that #VEday brought for refugees and survivors and the subsequent realisation of enormous loss, for so many.
Holocaust survivor Vera Schaufeld MBE was sent to England on the Kindertransport to escape Nazi persecution. She remembers the joy of VE Day, believing she would be reunited with her parents, only to find out they had been murdered in the Holocaust. @TheAJR_

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. I feel privileged to have interviewed Helen Bamber OBE @AJRefugeeVoices in 2003. She came to Belsen with the Jewish Relief Unit and told me how important it was to listen to the survivors.
