Eva Clarke will tell her story of survival and why it means so much to her to tell her family’s story and to be involved in Holocaust Education. Eva was born in Mauthausen concentration camp, Austria, on 29th April 1945. She and her mother, Anka, were the only survivors of their family, of which 15 members were killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, Eva lives in Cambridge, and travels all around the UK and beyond on behalf of the Holocaust Educational Trust, and she is involved in the Historyworks programme for Holocaust Education in Cambridge, giving inspirational talks to young people in Cambridge in school workshops so that children have an opportunity to hear her story and ask questions.
