Eva Carlebach

The Central British Fund (CBF) put together a large team of people to look after the Boys.

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

The British government offered 1,000 visas to bring the Boys to the UK but the caveat was that the CBF were responsible for their care and would pay all the expenses.

Carlebach was born in Berlin, Germany in 1919.

She cared for the Boys at Windermere, and then at Great Chesterford hostel in Manchester. She married Rabbi Hans Joseph Heinemann in 1947 and had two daughters.

Carlebach died in Jerusalem in 1966.
