This is the abridged story of Margot Lövy, born in Germany in 1916; she reached England as a refugee in early 1939, joined the Auxiliary Training Service (ATS) and then married an English army officer.
Thanks in part to good fortune, but mainly to the UK's Co-ordinating Committee for Refugees and to the ATS, Margot survived the war, and lived in England until 2002. Some family and friends also survived, but her mother, sisters and many other family members died in the Holocaust. This is as much their story as it is hers.
