My Voice: Henry Monath

Henry Monath was born in Kraków, Poland in 1925. He grew up in a family who ran the second-largest furrier business in the country. By 1938, his mother recognised the increasing dangers for Jewish people in Poland and travelled to London in January 1939. She managed to arrange for Henry and his sister Rezika to escape to England, where she was reunited with them. Henry reflects on the challenges of settling in a new country, and recounts his experience being evacuated from Manchester to Blackpoo
