A Bradford woman who escaped the horrors of the Holocaust to make a new life in Yorkshire will speak to students about her experiences tomorrow.

To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Hanneke Dye, 64, will tell the story of how she was born in secrecy in Nazi-occupied Holland to Jewish parents.

At ten days old, she was taken to her uncle's house in a vacuum cleaner box on the back of a bicycle where she could be kept hidden with her parents.

Her Uncle Jaap hid the Jewish family and friends in an upstairs room but for their safety, her parents were moved to a different hide out.

The house was raided by the Germans the day they left, but Hanneke was asleep in her vacuum cleaner box in the attic and was not found.

Uncle Jaap returned and took her to a woman known as Nurse Pop who ran a nearby Catholic children's home.

Despite several raids, she survived, bleached her hair to disguise herself, and moved to the UK aged 22.

Hanneke lost her grandparents and her Aunt Bartje to the gas chambers at Auschwitz but was reunited with her surviving family members in 1945.

A grandmother of four, she is now an active member of the Bradford Jewish community and appears at Sheffield Hallam University tomorrow.

Speaking with her will be Steve Mendelsson, who came to the country under the kindertransport programme, and Dr Otto Jakubovic, who spent the war as an internee and who came to England in 1970.
