      <p><![CDATA[Else Mendel (1909-1998) was born into a Jewish family in Newry, Ireland.  The family moved to  Norway in 1911.   As Norwegian citizens, Mendel’s two younger siblings were deported on the 26th  November 1942 and killed in Auschwitz. As British citizens, Mendel, her sister and her parents managed to escape arrest, and they left for neutral Sweden during the winter 1942-1943. Mendel   worked later at the Norwegian consulate in Glasgow. ]]></p>
