Renate Klapper: Personal papers
Renate ('Ray') Johanna Klapper, born in 1920, was sent to London by her parents just before the outbreak of the Second World War. Her mother Grete Klapper and her cousin Max were transported to Auschwitz in 1943. Whilst her mother's fate is unknown, Max died in May 1943.
Renate trained to be a nurse and midwife in England. She later became a midwifery teacher and attended the International Confederation of Midwives Congress in Jerusalem in 1978. She supported various good causes such as the Ethiopian Gemini Trust for which she started a supplementary feeding programme which developed into a large organisation with a clinic, income generating activities for parents and a day care centre. She also contributed to the Princess Tsahai Memorial Hospital Trust, established by Rita Pankhurst's husband's mother, Sylvia Pankhurst. Renate died in Southend-on-Sea in 1998.
