Dina LeBoutillier

Interview Summary

Born in 1929 in Vienna, Dina was only six when her mother died. It wasn’t until just before her father’s escape that she learned he was Jewish. Dina and her brother were left behind with their neighbour until a place on the Kindertransport was found. They were fostered in Sheffield where they were both abused. As her brother was older he moved out, leaving Dina to endure further torment and trauma. Eventually, after many years, her life turned a corner when she met her husband and built a happy family of her own.
