Abraham Weiner

Weiner was born to parents Chaim and Gisela on 22 December 1929 in Sighet, in the north-west of Romania which is now Sighetu Marmatiei. 

Weiner 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.
