Ilse Melamid

geb. 1928, USA

“Ilse was rejected by her Hietzing school friends and NAZIs for being Jewish. She lost her parents and her sister Linda, and her home. Ilse was lucky to find a place on a Kindertransport to England. Ilse still has warm feelings for the place of her birth, and hopes the readers of this panel show tolerance and friendship to others”
