Bernard Wilson has written a children’s book about Mary Elmes, the Cork woman who helped to save hundreds of youngsters from Second World War concentration camps. Rowena Walsh reports

A talented student from Ballintemple had a respectable academic career ahead of her, but as Clodagh Finn discovers, she shelved that future to become an aid worker and helped to spare countless children the horror of WWII concentration camps

Mary Elmes, referred to as the ’Irish Oskar Schindler’, was posthumously honoured by Israel and France for rescuing Jews in WWII but her name is not known here. That may be about to change, writes Clodagh Finn.
