Ruth Brook Klauber: 101 year-old RAF veteran who fled persecution and served in WWII

Ruth Brook Klauber, born in Frankfurt in 1924, was just nine years-old when her family fled to Britain following Hitler’s rise to power. Now aged 101, she speaks with us on 'For Honour's Sake' where we also had the honour of presenting her with her UK War Medal and the UK Defence Medal in recognition of her service with the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) during the Second World War.Ruth's decision to enlist came in 1941. She rejected role's as a cook or batwoman, and opted to train as a flight mechanic.With our host, Dan Fox, she relives her family's flight from Germany, her integration into British society as a teenager, and her eventual wartime service - as well as what she did after the war.  An episode and discussion we will cherish.We also give one of our younger AJEX members, Chloe, an opportunity to ask some questions as the end!  Do not miss out on that.Huge thanks to Ruth's daughter Sue for her support and help making this episode happen.For more information on AJEX: https://www.ajex.org.uk/To donate: https://www.ajex.org.uk/donateOur social media accounts can be found here:Instagram: @ajex_jmaFacebook: ajexheadofficeYouTube: ajex_jma
