My Voice: Lydia Tischler: Freud, Hitler and Me

di The Fed (Autore)

Manchester University Press, 2025

Lydia Tischler was born in Ostrava in what was then Czechoslovakia. Her story takes her from childhood innocence to the horrors of the ghetto-camp of Theresienstadt, where she spent two years before volunteering to go to Auschwitz after learning that her mother and sister were being transported there. After liberation in 1945, Lydia came to England in a Wellington bomber aircraft as one of The Windermere Boys. Lydia has gone onto to live a fulfilled, meaningful life, working as a child psychotherapist for over 65 years and marrying Salo Tischler in November 1975. Lydia’s book is part of the My Voice book collection, a stand-alone project of The Fed, the leading Jewish social care charity in Manchester, dedicated to preserving the life stories of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. The oral history, which is recorded and transcribed, captures their entire lives from before, during and after the war years. The books are written in the words of the survivor so that future generations can always hear their voice. The My Voice book collection is a valuable resource for Holocaust awareness and education. -- .
