David Wolfgang Gordon

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.

Gordon was a refugee from Nazi Germany. He was 25 years old when he left Windermere reception centre to run the Nightingale Road hostel in London. He met and married his wife Bianca in Windermere, just after learning that her family had been murdered in the Holocaust.
