Peter Adler was born in April 1933 in Berlin. When Hitler came to power, his father lost his job for being Jewish, and in 1936 he moved to England, where he had to requalify as a doctor. By June 1938, Peter, his mother and sisters had joined his father in London and during the Blitz, Peter was evacuated to the countryside. After studying medicine at London University, Peter met his wife Eve, a nurse. They moved to Zambia for two years, lived in Israel for a short period, and settled in Luton where Peter worked as a doctor in a general practice. They have three daughters, Keren, Tami and Mandy. Peter and Eve now live in Derby and enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren. Peter’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. -- .
