Dorli Meek, who died at 98, was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany. After enduring racial tests in Berlin, where she was identified for Aryan duties, Dorli was expelled from school following Kristallnacht. She migrated to Britain at 12, helped by a young Englishman. Once in the UK, she was welcomed warmly, developed a love for the country, and later pursued higher education at Oxford, eventually working at the UN and Glasgow University, highlighting her resilience and adaptability.
Dorli's early life was a harrowing journey from a childhood in Nazi Germany, facing racial purity tests and expulsion from school, to finding refuge in Britain.
Inspired by a chance encounter, Dorli's migration to the UK marked the beginning of a new life, aided by acts of kindness from strangers in a challenging time.
