Many believed this was in retaliation for the help that was sent from Dublin to Belfast following the heavy bombing it had endured with the loss of over 800 people. An earlier bombing had taken place in January close to the neighbourhood of the Jewish Community in Dublin and damaged Greenville Hall Synagogue.

She used her skills when she crossed the border into France and worked as head of the Quaker delegation in Perpignan saving hundreds of Jewish children bound for Auschwitz from Rivesaltes Camp. She is known to have &#8220;spirited away&#8221; children in the boot of her car to children&#8217;s homes she had set up in the Pyrenees.<\/p><p>In 1943 she was arrested by the Gestapo and spent six months in jail, yet she continued her mission to save children&#8217;s lives upon her release. She refused all suggestion of accolades in her lifetime but in 2013 she was named &#8220;Righteous Among the Nations&#8221; at Yad Vashem. She is the only Irish person to hold this distinction, which is one given to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during World War II. On 9 July 2019 Cork City Council\u00a0opened a new pedestrian bridge named in honour of Mary Elmes.

There they found more than 50,000 people barely alive under appalling conditions.<\/p><p>He met Han Hogerzeil, a Dutch lawyer who worked alongside him to save some of the children who were dying from typhus, malnutrition, and TB. They set up a children\u2019s hospital at the camp. After many of the children had improved in health and had been repatriated to their various countries, Sweden invited hundreds of the remaining Belsen orphans to Malmo for further recuperation.<\/p><p>Bob and Han then brought six of the children in his special care back with them to Ireland, where they first stayed at Fairy Hill \u2013 a hospital on the Hill of Howth. Among the children were Zoltan Zinn and his sister Edit, who had been taken from their home in rural Slovakia to Ravensbr\u00fcck where their father had been murdered, and then to Belsen. Their mother died on the day of liberation and their brother shortly afterwards. Collis decided that Zoltan and Edit would live with him, his wife and their two sons.<\/p><p>Bob arranged the first formal adoptions in Ireland for the other four orphans, Terry and his sister Suzi Molnar from Hungary, Evelyn Schwartz and Franz Berlin from Germany.

The Council asked the Irish Department of Justice to admit 100 Jewish orphans who had survived the concentration camps. This was on the understanding that the Council would undertake to arrange for the children&#8217;s emigration after a specified period.<\/p><p>The scheme was not approved by Justice Minister Gerry Boland, and a Department memorandum noted that the Minister feared \u201cany substantial increase in our Jewish population might give rise to an anti-Semitic problem\u201d.<\/p><p>However, following a visit from former Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog to his friend the Taoiseach \u00c9amon de Valera, this decision was overruled, and the children were allowed in on condition that there was a guarantee that their stay would be for a short period only. This was in contrast to the admission of 500 Christian children from Germany who were admitted for three years under the Operation Shamrock scheme managed by the Irish Red Cross.<\/p><p>Eventually in May 1948, over 100 children arrived from Czechoslovakia and stayed in Clonyn Castle for one year where they received care and education from a network of supporters led by Mrs Olga Eppel from the Dublin Jewish community. When they left the country as agreed, they were settled in the US, Israel and the UK. Some of the children returned to Delvin for a reunion in 2000 and again in 2013 where they were warmly welcomed by the local townspeople.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

The last living survivors in Ireland, Suzi Diamond and Tomi Reichental are known for their meetings with students to speak about their experiences as children in the Holocaust and for their work to raise awareness of the Holocaust. Along with other refugees who arrived at the beginning of the war, the survivors led full lives and were instrumental in developing many aspects of Irish and Jewish communal life.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2389\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2389\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2389 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-1024x323.png\" alt=\"Portraits of Tomi Reichental, Zoltan Zinn-Collis, Suzi Diamond &amp; Jan Kaminiski\" width=\"800\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-600x189.png 600w, https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-768x242.png 768w, https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-1536x485.png 1536w, https:\/\/jewishmuseum.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tribute-artist-2048x646.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Portraits of Tomi Reichental, Zoltan Zinn-Collis, Suzi Diamond and Jan Kaminiski by Diana Muller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"ob-is-breaking-bad has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8c94c08 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"8c94c08\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_bbad_use_it&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_sssic_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_glider_is_slider&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9687229 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"9687229\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_bbad_is_stalker&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_teleporter_use&quot;:false,&quot;_ob_column_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_has_pseudo&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c909af8 ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c909af8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_text_clip&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Holocaust Remembered<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba062b0 drop ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba062b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_postman_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Each year, Holocaust Education Trust Ireland organises a National Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration with the support of the Irish government.
