Anne Super was born in 1938 in Warsaw. Her earliest memories are overshadowed by the Nazi persecution, which led her parents to arrange her rescue by a milk woman. After a traumatic separation, Anne never saw her parents again. As a hidden child raised Catholic, during the war Anne endured deprivation and survived illness.
After the war, Anne was adopted by her uncle in South Africa, reconnected with her Jewish roots, met her husband Maurice, qualified as an optician, and started a family. After exciting years in Namibia, the family settled in Manchester. Anne's story includes reflections on her identity, traumatic childhood, and her lifelong commitment to honour her parents by living a fulfilling life, full of adventures and pursuing her many passions.
Anne'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.
