Dunwood House

^{Bernard Reil in Dunwood House Hostel Manchester.}

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

After arrival in the UK, members of the Boys spent time in the reception centres before being moved to children’s homes known as hostels. Others were sent direct to boarding school or yeshivas, and those who were sick spent time in sanatoriums.

Some of the members of the Boys were lucky enough to find relatives or were taken in by foster families but the majority were moved to hostels.

Dunwood House was one of these hostels.

The hostel was primarily used for Kindertransport children but due to tensions between the Boys and those in the group who came from mixed marriages Bernard Reil was moved to Dunwood House.
