Alec Ward

Ward was born Abraham Warsaw in 1927 to parents Zmul and Estera in Parysow near Lublin, Poland and lived in the village of Magnuszew.

Ward 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, and survived World War II in hiding or as lone children.
