Interview Summary

Interview with Rabbi Hugo Gryn, who arrived in Britain in January 1946 at the age of 16 as a survivor of the Holocaust. Gryn was one of 732 children and teenagers, known as "The Boys", who had survived the Holocaust and were allowed to settle in Britain by the government. Gryn describes the journey from Prague to Scotland, the experience of settling in a new country, the various jobs he was employed in, his acceptance to study at Cambridge University, his service in Palestine in 1948, his involvement in confrontations with fascists on London's streets in the late 1940s, his rabbinical training in the United States, his relationship with his mother who survived the war and remained in Czechoslovakia, and his eventual appointment as rabbi of the West London synagogue in 1964.
