Cook. Marga Levy . Auxiliary Fire Service Marga Forester, 90, of Wynnewood, a Holocaust survivor who escaped from Nazi Germany to England on the famous Kindertransport, died Sunday, Feb. 9 at home. Mrs. Forester, the former Marga Levy, was married to fellow Holocaust survivor Frank Forester, who died of respiratory failure Dec. 3, also at home in Wynnewood. He was 88. They were together 69 years.
As children - she was 16, he was 13 - the two left Germany on separate Kindertransports, the rescue effort in which Britain agreed to take in 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland when the Nazis were gaining power.
Although the transports saved 10,000 Jewish children and babies from the Holocaust, most of the youngsters never saw their parents again, according to the Kindertransport Association.
"I vaguely remember being given 10 days' notice that I was going to be able to leave Germany and travel to England on a 'children's transport.' I was so excited, I felt sick all the time and spent my last 10 days at home in bed," Mrs. Forester wrote in a memoir. On the train platform in Berlin, she recalled thinking her parents looked sad. "I wonder in retrospect if they had an intuition that they would never see me again," she wrote.
As the train from Berlin neared the border with the Netherlands, SS men boarded to check passports. "We were petrified in case they would stop us from leaving Germany. . . . Once in Holland, we felt free!" she wrote.
The children took a ferry to Harwich, England, where they were met by the Jewish Refugee Committee. She was lodged in a boardinghouse in Birmingham before being sent to the countryside to escape German bombing.
She later learned her transport in July 1939 had been one of last ones to get children out of Germany. Once Britain entered World War II in September 1939, the rescue missions stopped. She also learned that her parents and younger brother died in a concentration camp.
Frank Forester had arrived on an earlier transport, in December 1938. His parents disappeared; he never learned their fate.
"That's what brought them together. They were both orphans," said the couple's daughter, Carole Parker.
They met at the boardinghouse where they both lived. He served in the British army; she cooked for the British Fire Service, the agency responsible for fighting the fires started by German air raids. The two married in 1944.
After moving to London in 1950, the couple and their daughter came to the United States in 1956 and settled in Chicago

L/Cpl. William Bert Lewington . British Army 1st Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment from Kensington, London My Dad's name was William Bert Lewington, he was captured at Dresden and marched to Stalag XII-A where he was a prisoner of war until march 1944. I don't know a lot about his life as a prisoner as like many of our hero's they didn't want to talk about it. As he was a cook he was sent to either Berge-Belsen or Auschwitz to help feed the interns of the camps. I remember him saying he lived on potato soup and had a very bad case of dysentery when he was released. As he was an enlisted soldier firstly in the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment prior to being captured, on re-joining the army he was transferred into the 1st battalion of the Dorsets.
Like many others it did effect their life after the war. I was 11 years old when he died so I would really like to find out more about his life in the army. If any one could help me in this quest I would be grateful.

Bernard Charles "Crasher" Lewis MID.. Royal Air Force 460 Squadron from Hampshire My dad, Bernard Lewis, nickname Crasher, served in the RAF at Binbrook in 460 Squadron during the war. He was a bomb loader. He was a Londoner, and met my mum in Woolworths in Cleethorpes. Then he saw her again at the Gaetey Dance Hall in Grimsby putting up balloons. Dad used to walk all the way to Binbrook from Grimsby after he taken mum out on a date, usually missing the transport back to base. He said he was mentioned in dispatches, I have to research that. Sadly I lost both my parents a couple of years ago, but how I wish I had asked them more questions. I went to Waddington Air Show recently, and I nearly had a fit when I saw my Dad's photo on a card, loading bombs. Obviously, I had to buy it. It's a brilliant photo. It would be nice to hear from anyone who knew my Dad. Bless all the men and women who never made it home, they will never be forgotten,
