Eyewitness to History: Esther Starobin

Share

Esther Starobin was born in Adelsheim, Germany, in 1937. When she was just two years old, Esther’s parents sent her and her three older sisters to England on the Kindertransport. Esther spent the next eight years with a foster family, largely unaware of what was happening to her parents and brother who had remained in Germany.
