Janine Webber, a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor, shares her harrowing experiences of hiding from Nazi persecution during World War II and emphasizes the importance of tolerance and respect for all people. Webber, who lost both parents at a young age and lived under a false identity, urges individuals to treat each other kindly regardless of their differences.
A Holocaust survivor has stressed the importance of being tolerant towards minority groups, saying all people "come from the same family". Janine Webber BEM, 92, hid under a wardrobe with her family before working as a shepherdess and living in a convent under a false identity to avoid Nazi persecution during the Second World War. She also lost both of her parents within months of each other by the age of nine.
