Grete "Gretl" Greenfield

Rebeka (nee Blankstein) Russman was a friend of Gretl. They were a Czech family and her mother took out Czech citizenship after the First World War. The result was that when Gretl came to England, she counted as a "friendly alien" and was allowed to have a radio set, whereas her friend Rebeka Russman, as an "enemy alien" could not have one.

Gretl eventually settled in Yorkshire and lived to be a hundred. She had a cousin called Otto Grunfeld who also lived there. He went through Theresienstadt and wrote a book about it afterwards "The Survivor's Path" paperback (1/1/1995) - on Amazon, etc. Gretl developed vascular dementia in her 90's and was moved to a home where she died soon after her hundredth birthday.
