Vera Schaufeld was born in Prague in 1930 and evacuated to England at age nine on Sir Nicholas Winton's Kindertransport, parting from her parents in 1939. Her parents were later deported to a concentration camp and murdered. Raised in England, she trained as a teacher and spent time in Israel, where she met her husband, Avram. After returning to England she continued teaching and became an ambassador for Holocaust remembrance and education, sharing testimony in schools, colleges and the Association of Jewish Refugees' Refugee Voices archive.
