Her incredible story has emerged on Holocaust Memorial Day, a national day of commemoration dedicated to the remembrance of those who suffered in the Holocaust.
Leisel, aged 85, said: I think it s vital we continue to talk about the Holocaust because what happened to Jewish people then is still happening in other countries today. People are being killed not only because of their race but because of their religion. You see on the news people being murdered and driven out of their homes, just like what happened in Nazi Germany.
