==Friday 12th Memorial for Ilse Bell. 2pm St Thomas Church, Earlham Road==

Ilse Bell 22/2/19224 – 31/1/2010

Peace activist, friend, great- grandmother Ilse Bell passed away peacefully on Sunday, 31 Jan, 9.35 pm surrounded by family and friends, there being little distinction between the two. Those who knew her will be left with an Ilse shaped hole, but also with the inspiration of a woman who endured losses such as nobody should ever have to deal with, and who lived out the ‘never again’ testimony by refusing bitterness, by faithful, determined and above compassionate activism for peace and justice.

-

Ilse grew up in Breslau, Germany, which is now Wroclaw in Poland. She came to England as a ~~Kindertransport~~ in 1938, when child protection meant putting your child on a train and praying for their survival, when your own was unlikely. Ilse's parents perished in the holocaust.

Ilse led a very active life until age and frailty got the better of her.

Among other things, Ilse was a teacher, active in CND, Mothers for Peace, Mothers’ Union, Christian Aid,
