Jakob Berlowitz

Berlowitz was born in Elbing in Germany in 1931.

Berlowitz 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, in hiding or by living alone.
