Bertha Bracey was a British Quaker teacher and humanitarian whose leadership saved thousands of lives during World War II. She devoted her life to championing the rights, safety, and care of refugees. After years of post-WWI relief work in Europe, she headed the Friends Committee for Refugees and Aliens and co-led the mobilisation of the Kindertransport, which brought nearly 10,000 children to safety in the UK. She was awarded an OBE and was recognised as a British Hero of the Holocaust.
Please join Nick Tischler to hear, and discuss, her story.

Venue: Jesus Lane Quaker Meeting House
Join Online Meeting (available shortly before event)
We will meet for 35-minutes of shared worship with an additional 10 minute afterword, after which we have some tea and a shared dinner. Doors will be open from 5.45pm for a 6.00pm start. You are welcome to attend any part of the session that is appealing to you. All who feel they answer to the word 'young' are very welcome to attend - and please feel free to bring Quaker-curious guests: the more, the merrier!
The worship and afterword are hybrid. Please note: As a community, we want to take care for each other’s wellbeing. This is why we ask everyone to consider staying home and joining the worship online or wearing a mask and keeping distance, if you think you have a contagious illness, such as a cold, the flu, or covid.
Contact young.friends@cambridgeshire-quakers.org.uk if you have any queries, or if you would like to join our WhatsApp group or Discord Server.
