BBC Special – Lost Children of the Holocaust
Following the end of the Second World War, the BBC began a series of special radio appeals on behalf of a group of children who'd survived the Holocaust but were now stranded in post-war Europe. They'd lost their families in the genocide but they believed they might have relatives in Britain. 70 years on, Alex Last decided to try to find out what had happened to the children. Were any of them still alive? Did anyone come to their rescue? Did they find their relatives? The search took months and took him to Germany, Israel and the United States, as he traced the survivors. We hear an extraordinary story of courage and humanity born out of the worst atrocity of the 20th Century.
