In 1939 they fled from Nazi occupied Europe for the UK, arriving first in Birmingham but then settling in Leicester in 1941, where the Dubs became prominent members of the Jewish and wider community.

She was a founder member of Leicester Writers' Club in 1958. She was Leicester correspondent of the Jewish Chronicle from 1961 until her death.
