Andra Bucci - '45 Aid Society

Bucci was born in 1939 in Fiume in Italy, which is now Rijeka in Croatia.

Bucci was a member of a group of Holocaust survivors known as the Boys, despite the fact the group consisted of over 200 girls.

The Boys were teenage and child-Holocaust survivors, who were brought to the UK after World War II for rest and rehabilitation.

Members of the Boys were held in Nazi labour and concentration camps and used as slave labourers, survived World War II in hiding or as lone children.
