Eva Kahn

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.

Kahn, later Eva Minden-Kahn, was born in Germany in 1922. She came to the UK before the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

At the end of the war, in June 1945, she went to help the survivors of the Bergen-Belsen camp as part of a rescue unit headed by Shalom Markowitz. She was later the matron of Quare Mead hostel.

Kahn emigrated to Israel in 1951.
