My Voice: Jeannine Scher

Jeannine's book is part of the My Voice Project, a collection of firsthand accounts of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. Jeannine Scher was born in Paris until her family moved to the Vichy Zone, which they also had to leave. Jeannine later taught Maths and Jewish Studies and moved to England in 1958.

The Fed is Manchester's leading social care charity serving the Jewish community. In June of 2021, The Fed were awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service for the My Voice Project, the highest possible accolade for a voluntary sector group.
