Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg has died aged 95.

He was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Germany in April 1930 - and suffered escalating persecution under the Nazi regime.

When Manfred was just 11 years old, he was deported to a ghetto in Latvia "characterised by a lack of food, use of slave labour and constant fear".

According to the Holocaust Educational Trust, inmates were regularly selected for mass shootings in forests on the edge of Riga.

He was evacuated to Stutthof concentration camp near the Polish city of Gdansk in 1944 - and spent eight months as a slave worker.

Manfred was liberated at Neustadt in Germany on 3 May 1945 and came to Britain to be reunited with his father a year later.
