description: Born in Berlin in 1928, the child of Jewish parents who had established a comfortable life in the German capital after migrating to the city from Poland, Esther Neier Fleishman's life was radically disrupted when she was ten years old. With the Nazis in power, Kristallnacht in November 1938 made it unmistakenly clear that Jews could not survive in Germany. A few months later, Esther boarded a train by herself to travel to safety in England. This is her story.
