00:02:50Hello?
00:02:52Although it'll start off with some sunshine in the morning, you'll find cloud coming along in the afternoon.
00:02:57That's all. Have a lovely day.
00:02:59♪
00:03:04BBC News at midday.
00:03:06Just 24 hours after what many are calling Black Monday, the FTSE 100 index lost another 250 points,
00:03:13leaving businesses and investors reeling.
00:03:15Oh, that's what happens when you deregulate.
00:03:17Global markets have rallied somewhat after yesterday's losses, which saw Wall Street close a full 508 points down.
00:03:24Supporters and families of Tamil migrants have gathered outside a London refugee detention centre
00:03:30to protest against the government's plan to deport them.
00:03:33We came here because in our country our lives are in danger. We came to keep our children safe.
00:03:39A Home Office spokesman described Britain's humanitarian record as outstanding.
00:03:45We'll have a report.
00:03:53Hello, darling.
00:03:58I was worried this would be burnt on top.
00:04:09All right?
00:04:10What?
00:04:11What's that?
00:04:12Well, what does it look like? It's a button.
00:04:16A button?
00:04:17Yes. Somebody just put it in the tin.
00:04:22People.
00:04:25Oh, you never know when it may come in handy.
00:04:43Oh, hello.
00:04:45What have you got now?
00:04:47Well, it's a typewriter.
00:04:49I know what it is, but you've already got one.
00:04:52I know. It's not for me. It's, um...
00:04:55They don't need it any more at the day centre, so I thought it would be all right for the new care home.
00:05:01And, uh, we can hang on to it a little bit longer.
00:05:04Oh, thank you.
00:05:06Day centre, so I thought it would be all right for the new care home.
00:05:10And, uh, we can hang on to it in the meanwhile.
00:05:13No.
00:05:14Huh?
00:05:15No.
00:05:16Well, I've also got a desk outside.
00:05:19What? Where?
00:05:21Well, I haven't brought it in yet, but...
00:05:22Nick, it's too much.
00:05:24How will we fit everyone in at Christmas?
00:05:26I don't know. They'll just have to shove up, won't they?
00:05:29Your daughter is seven months pregnant.
00:05:31I know.
00:05:32She cannot shove up.
00:05:33All right.
00:05:34Move it all to the study, then.
00:05:36Oh, the study.
00:05:38I bet you have plenty of room in the study.
00:05:40Oh, God.
00:05:41Let's go and check the study.
00:05:44Oh, Nicky.
00:05:45What?
00:05:46Do you still need all this?
00:05:49Yes.
00:05:50What?
00:05:51What?
00:05:52What's in all these drops?
00:05:55Everything, I think.
00:05:56Darling!
00:05:58A domino, a brisket, and...
00:06:02How many rubber bands does one man need?
00:06:05I don't know. I've never asked the question.
00:06:10And you've got to find the right home for that.
00:06:13Somewhere it will be appreciated.
00:06:18Please, Nicky.
00:06:20You have to let go.
00:06:22For your own sake.
00:06:27Come on.

00:07:37Okay, well, maybe I'll just call him.
00:07:39Yes. Yes. He's a grown man.
00:07:47You don't have to wave me off.
00:07:49Of course I'm going to wave you off.
00:07:56Yes.
00:08:13Nicky, don't let yourself get...
00:08:16What?
00:08:18How you get.
00:08:20Oh, of course I won't.

00:10:07Did you speak to Martin?
00:10:10I did.
00:10:12Turns out he's not going to be there.
00:10:14He's escorting some refugees out of the country
00:10:16and then he's heading back home to London.
00:10:18Nicky...
00:10:20Look, I have to do something.
00:10:23You of all people should understand that.
00:10:25Isn't that what you taught me?
00:10:27I can't just sit here reading about it.
00:10:29These people need help.
00:10:31I was never in doubt that the cause was just.
00:10:34Only where the Prague is safe.
00:10:36It's only a week. I'll be back before you even miss me.
00:10:39Nicky, it's not a joke.

00:12:42he ran a newspaper in Germany spoke out against the Nazis when it got too
00:12:46dangerous they escaped over the border into Czechoslovakia the Sudetenland
00:12:49where they thought they'd be safe and so they fled to Prague right I've got a lot
00:12:56to do taking supplies to the camps tomorrow I could use your help
00:13:03can I ask what brought you out I came ten years ago for a study trip I just
00:13:11just love the place love the people now they're in trouble so I came back
00:13:19they all from the Sudetenland mostly some from Austria and Germany who fled
00:13:34there first drive an hour north of here towards the
00:13:38German border you'll see the towns they ran from hung with Nazi flags
00:13:49dear God I know and there are thousands more like this

00:14:25can you get the others oh yeah so you managed to get doctors out plenty of
00:14:33doctors already here lots of these children grew up thinking the worst
00:14:37thing that was ever gonna happen to them was piano practice
00:15:46Oh
00:15:48Oh
00:16:13hello
00:16:19so I'm sorry I haven't got anything oh wait hold on a moment

00:17:18Nicky
00:17:21here we go
00:17:31how will these children survive the winter well they probably won't and
00:17:37there are a dozen more places like this surely they should be the priority to
00:17:42children families my remit is to rescue politicals at imminent risk of arrest
00:17:48and I've hardly the money or manpower for that what about the British
00:17:51government trains for Kindertransport it's only for children leaving Germany
00:17:55and Austria not from Czechoslovakia unfortunately His Majesty's government
00:17:58refuses to believe these people are in danger
00:18:03Oh
00:18:14then how many children are we talking about oh but we don't know that's part
00:18:19of the problem thousands there's refugees all over the city Jewish people
00:18:24especially but anyone really who doesn't fit into Hitler's master race they're
00:18:28banned from travel and the UK's refusing entry visas to families trying to get
00:18:31out it's chaos welcome to the British Committee for refugees from Czechoslovakia
00:18:36Hannah get him those files would you it's quite a filing system yes well if
00:18:42the Germans send in their spies at least they won't be able to find anything in
00:18:47any case kill the one who's supposed to be good at paperwork this is you
00:18:53yes this report details the political activists in and around Prague what's
00:19:05this the Fuhrer's travel plans in black and white he's got his sights set on
00:19:11half of Europe it's just a question of when who else has seen half of Prague I
00:19:17imagine meant to intimidate Hitler's never made any secret of his ambitions
00:19:24the Allies banked on appeasing him with a fat slice of this country now the
00:19:27vicious shit's just gonna take the rest of it the children we have to move them
00:19:33says the man who arrived yesterday well I'm not suggesting it's gonna be easy a
00:19:37mass transit of children with without money or visa we'll find a way how long
00:19:44are you here for a week and then you're back to your bank can we just put that
00:19:49aside for now can we please be realistic we can't give these people false hope
00:19:53look we we have to believe that this might be possible let me try let me let
00:20:02me find out the scale of the problem you know how many children names and ages
00:20:08where they're living there there must be existing information well the
00:20:17vulnerable groups they do have lists but they are scared to share them well then
00:20:24we need to earn their trust we need those lists so we have to persuade them
00:20:32please let me try
00:20:38good afternoon my name is Winton Nicholas Winton yes I'm ringing from the
00:20:45British Committee for refugees from Czechoslovakia well I'm looking to obtain
00:20:49a list of vulnerable children no I understand but we will have everything
00:20:55in place hello hello
00:20:59if the super idea that you will get kids from over it's here
00:21:05yes may I at least come and meet you thank you for seeing me how could I
00:21:12resist you're offering to get children out of Prague a lot of them that is
00:21:17correct Hitler will be thrilled to know you're helping him eradicate Jews from
00:21:21the region with with respect I'm moving children of all faiths and none
00:21:31separating them from their families perhaps from their religion accommodating
00:21:37them in safe homes with families foster homes Jewish foster homes I don't know I
00:21:48don't think that's a question for now but it's a question I'm asking you're
00:21:53not the only person at this table concerned about the well-being of Jewish
00:21:57children parents in London preparing to send their children out of the city to
00:22:02safety in the event of a war what I'm proposing is no different your children
00:22:08would be protected and returned to their families as soon as it's safe are you
00:22:16Jewish mr. Vinton why would you ask that because I wonder why a person would
00:22:25undertake this daunting task for people to whom he has no real allegiance in a
00:22:32place where he does not belong you're a stockbroker from London with a
00:22:41comfortable life I presume you've done some research it is a serious matter so
00:22:47why are you doing this what I mean is who are you mr. Vinton my father's
00:22:55family came from Germany to London in the 1870s till just a few months ago we
00:23:03were Verdines we went through the last war with a German surname and my mother
00:23:09my mother couldn't stand doing it again so my grandparents on both sides were
00:23:16Jewish but I was baptized in the Church of England so I don't know what you'd
00:23:26call me I would call you a Jew I consider myself a European an agnostic
00:23:35and socialist there are children here living in fields in the open in in in
00:23:48mud the worst of winter still to come and under the threat of Nazi invasion I
00:23:55have seen this and I cannot unsee it and because I may be able to do something
00:24:05about it I must at least try
00:24:16the task you propose requires money and visas I don't have them yet
00:24:28but I'll get them
00:24:36if I send these children to you I'm placing their lives in your hands a
00:24:48very great responsibility so in the end mr. Vinton it is a question of trust in
00:25:02Hebrew there is a saying in matamata before Latovia a serota at her soft
00:25:10don't start what you can't finish
00:25:15hence did seven nine four six mother Nicky so good to hear you I can't be

00:53:06Hello?
00:53:31Hello?
00:53:32Hello?
00:53:33Guess who this is?
00:53:34Well, good afternoon.
00:53:35Good afternoon.
00:53:36afternoon. I'm meeting mr. Martin on the lake. thank you. ah certainly. thank you.
00:53:42you'd like to follow me? yes thank you.
00:53:46good to see you. so you're footloose for a couple of days.
00:54:08yes looks like it doesn't it. time to catch up. I'm glad. yeah it's not much
00:54:12time I'm afraid because um I've been given my to-do list. you know Greta's
00:54:17reorganizing everything before the baby arrives. oh yes. a grandfather. you
00:54:21excited? no I'm bloody terrified. why? it'll be fun I'm sure. oh really? if you say so.
00:54:28anyway at the moment we're just throwing out a lot of old stuff you know. piles up.
00:54:34yes it does. you have to be ruthless. I know. box files and records of all the
00:54:40old charity work you know. always been so busy. oh yeah. you still volunteer with
00:54:45the Samaritans? no no they kicked me out. what? what on earth for? a woman phoned
00:54:51in and told me she was planning on killing herself. I said oh dear me there
00:54:54must be something else you'd rather be doing. you didn't? yes I did. she told me
00:54:59that she wanted to visit her daughter in America but her doctor warned her that
00:55:03the journey would probably kill her. I said well that's exactly what you want
00:55:07isn't it? to be killed? yeah. she had a good laugh. we both had a good laugh. she
00:55:11went off to America. she saw her daughter. had a wonderful time. came back was happy as a
00:55:15lark. but with the Samaritans. oh god bless them. gave me a real bollocking. pardon my
00:55:20French. and told me I'd broken all the rules. oh you know I couldn't just sit
00:55:24there could I? I mean you're listening to a bunch of lonely people when there's
00:55:28something I could actually say to help cheer them up. you might want to slow
00:55:34down anyway with the baby coming. why would I want to slow down? to enjoy it.
00:55:39you've done enough. oh it's never enough is it? did you need more time with the
00:55:46wine miss? oh yes. you're a nice chateau nerf.
00:55:54we'll have the Chablis. oh dear. thank you. oh yes when I was clearing out all the
00:56:03papers I came across that old scrapbook from Prague. do you remember that? I do.
00:56:08yes you're not throwing that out. no I think it could be quite an important
00:56:11little record in this way. you know full of history we should learn from. it is.
00:56:20maybe the Levena archive might like it in London. yeah. I know people on the
00:56:28board I could mention it. yeah well it probably just gathered dust there. I mean
00:56:33I tried showing it to the editor of the Maidenhead newspaper. what's it called?
00:56:36the advertiser or something. and it's funny because when I told him about the
00:56:42refugees he said I don't quite get the Maidenhead angle. so he's a bit of a
00:56:48twit really. well you might like to donate it to a museum in Prague or in
00:56:52Israel. most of the children were Jewish after all. Prague.
00:56:58well yeah tell me something. do you ever think about the children and what
00:57:08happened to them? yes I do from time to time. do you? no not really.
00:57:15well maybe a little recently. it is incredible what you achieved. oh I don't
00:57:22think of it. no no no no I mean it truly. I mean you should be proud. save one life
00:57:30save the world you know. well it's nothing to brag about.
00:57:36we look at Doreen and Trevor they did far more than I did and they took all
00:57:40the risks up there to stay in Prague. you know Nicky telling people isn't
00:57:46bragging. no.
00:58:10Hamstead seven nine four six. the Germans crossed the frontier this morning.
00:58:27they've already taken over the ministries. this motorcade just went
00:58:32past the hotel. he was waving.
00:58:40what does this mean? for us. I have to go. we need to check the safe houses. just be
00:58:55careful. Doreen? Doreen?
00:59:00it's not safe for them here. please get them home.
00:59:11make sure all the lists are locked up.
00:59:30this development does not mean that Germany is at war. the Germans are
00:59:48understood to have taken an administrative position in Czechoslovakia
00:59:52replacing the government in Prague. what happens now? we work harder. instead of
01:00:00standing here wringing our hands in despair. we need more trains. we do
01:00:05whatever it takes to make that happen. we find more homes. we place the children
01:00:10faster. we're doing as much as we can. it's not enough though is it? but we
01:00:19cannot we cannot let these people down. they tell us the borders are still open.
01:00:25the thing is now every visa has to be approved and stamped by the Gestapo.
01:00:30it's all over bloody everything now.
01:00:37mr. Winton? oh hello. new statesman. oh hi. shall we speak as we go? yes please.
01:00:45I don't think I can recall ever seeing anything quite so moving. how many are
01:00:50there? there must be nearly a hundred. yes yes. well over a hundred. this is our
01:00:57largest transport so far. this is your fourth train. are there more planned? yes
01:01:02absolutely. the fifth train is only a few weeks away with more trains already
01:01:06booked. the eighth is confirmed and the ninth in preparation and hundreds of
01:01:12children ready to board. but there are thousands more who need our help all
01:01:16over Czechoslovakia and these are children who are homeless. they're
01:01:19starving and we don't know how long the border will remain open. so we do
01:01:23desperately need donations and foster homes.
01:01:33hello? Nicky? Nicky it's me. um look we have one or two missing from the next
01:01:39list. missing? yes um I don't know. either they panicked or or they were arrested.
01:01:46right well you better give me their names. that's her. Lenkovice. there was a
01:01:59baby too. damn. Nicky you must know we cannot save them all. you have to forgive
01:02:15yourself for that.
01:02:18if you want Ledbetter he's on his holes week in Eastbourne.
01:02:47shame about the rain. I urgently need three visas for a transport leaving
01:02:51Prague next week. sorry can't help you there.

01:13:23Yes, well, I'm very grateful. Well, we look forward to seeing you. Thank you
01:13:37Tell me
01:13:38Well, there's this woman who wants to see the scrapbook
01:13:41She's a historian married to some man from Czechoslovakia. His name is Robert Maxwell
01:13:47newspaper man, yes
01:13:49His name is Robert Maxwell
01:13:53Yes, that's right and
01:13:55She's a running some kind of a conference and she wants to meet me
01:14:00Elizabeth Maxwell she calls herself Betty
01:14:03She's French
01:14:19a
01:14:35Nicholas Winton good afternoon
01:14:37Oh
01:14:46Thank you so much for coming all this way here it is the scrapbook
01:14:55Relates back to sometime I spent in Prague before the war. It's a little heavy. I'm afraid
01:15:03Yeah
01:15:06Now a lot of that stuff is just touristy stuff postcards and so on and so forth and
01:15:13Yes, they're all that's it there's some letters relating to the transport of children to Britain
01:15:22These are the eight children you saved no
01:15:25No, it was a few more than that. If you turn the pages you can see I sent out those cards for people to
01:15:32Choose you know, I must say it was a bit like
01:15:35It's a bit like selling soap out if you know what I mean, I couldn't for the life of me think how else I could
01:15:41Find enough families to take in so many kids. Forgive me, but how many children are we speaking about? Oh
01:15:49669 we successfully placed
01:15:54You put
01:15:55669 children from Prague to England. Well, I mean with my
01:16:00colleagues during more or less Trevor Chadwick and Hannah and
01:16:04But there's so many other people involved, you know, my own mother. She was a great help and
01:16:09I suppose I I suppose I'm the only one left now at least I think I am
01:16:16The children that are crossed out are the ones we found homes for and the faces that are not crossed out
01:16:23Well, they were the less fortunate and it was a lottery I'm afraid
01:16:30You
01:16:33Go to the president of the United States
01:16:36That not a good he was
01:16:38And I've heard back from him. Yeah, it's disappointing. I must say. Oh
01:16:43Yes. Now these are those there are the names of the children and their new addresses
01:16:52Excuse me, mr. Winton. This is not exactly what I was expecting. I'm a little taken aback at the scale of your operation
01:17:00Yeah, if we'd had more money more time and more government support we could have done a lot more I think
01:17:10Blank pages. Yeah
01:17:15It was the last train
01:17:18Something happened to the last train
01:17:21Yes
01:17:24Ninth strain so largest group 250 children and
01:17:31It was the first of September 1939 the same day the Hitler invaded Poland the very start of the
01:17:53Oh
01:18:23I
01:18:25I
01:18:50Was the end of that bloody Hitler, that's all I could say
01:18:56We
01:18:58Had hundreds of foster families waiting ready to welcome them, but
01:19:08We on track say madam
01:19:18Merci
01:19:26I
01:19:27Take milk. No, thank you
01:19:31Thank you
01:19:34That's wonderful, thank you
01:19:41I'm sorry
01:19:45Must be very difficult for you knowing what happened to those children
01:19:49well, I don't know what happened to I they were taken off the train returned to their families and
01:19:56That was the end of that
01:20:00Truly I'm almost certain that the parish center comes
01:20:26You
01:20:51Well, you may be right about those children mrs. Maxwell
01:20:55But I've learned to keep my imagination in check so I can still be of use not go raving mad
01:21:08Mr. Winton
01:21:11Around
01:21:1215,000 children
01:21:14went into concentration camps in Czechoslovakia and
01:21:18And less than 200 of them survived and you saved
01:21:25669
01:21:32Anyway, I'd best I'd better be going because my wife is expecting men
01:21:36I don't want I don't want to get into any trouble if you know what I mean
01:21:40I would like very much to hold on to your scrapbook if I may
01:21:45All right and
01:21:48With your permission, I would like to show it to my husband
01:21:53I'm sure he will consider it a very important story. Oh
01:22:01Well, thank you, thank you
01:22:05As many of you know a group was founded in
01:22:081965 to encourage friendship between maidenhead and its twin parents

01:23:45Oh
01:24:03This is interesting
01:24:05What is it? It's from the editor of the Sunday Mirror who would very much like to publish a major article
01:24:12detailing the child evacuation
01:24:15But that's not this. Oh, yeah
01:24:18Says with wider publicity in mind
01:24:21Have been talking to the BBC television program. That's life. Surely not. Yes. They want me to go and
01:24:29Check the historical accuracy, but that's such a silly show
01:24:34Well, that's life. It's a very silly show
01:24:37It is that's very popular, isn't it? I mean a lot of people watching
01:24:42Should I come with you? Oh, but you want to come with me if you think it's so silly

01:26:48Now an extraordinary story has come to light about a young man who many years ago visited Prague and
01:26:56What he found there was a terrible situation
01:27:00Thousands of refugees stranded living in desperate conditions and at the mercy of Hitler's imminent invasion
01:27:08This young man whose name was Nicholas Winton decided that something had to be done
01:27:13And so he managed to rescue
01:27:17669 children
01:27:19This is his scrapbook
01:27:22all sorts of
01:27:24Fascinating photographs
01:27:28Perhaps you can see
01:27:31There's a photograph of Nicholas Winton himself
01:27:34With one of the children he rescued
01:27:37but at the very back
01:27:40Is a list of all the children that he rescued
01:27:45Here is Vera dearment over now Vera kissing
01:27:49We found her name on his list and Vera is here with us tonight

01:28:32Was reunited with my sister a few years later
01:28:35your parents
01:28:37My father was tortured in Terezin and then sent to Auschwitz
01:28:46And
01:28:47Then on to another labor camp a fellow prisoner told me he thought he'd been shot on the death march
01:29:00My mother died of typhus
01:29:04So sorry contracted a Belson
01:29:08But she knew that we were safe for a mother that is everything
01:29:15And um, my cousins Hansa and Tommy
01:29:21Who were on the last train
01:29:26No, I never saw them again, of course
01:29:37I
01:30:01Vicki
01:30:07I
01:30:37Hope
01:31:07I
01:31:15Get it
01:31:22Nikki you've not called me back. I love messages doesn't it follow that they don't want to talk to you
01:31:26Oh, come on. Come on. Let me do a piece. No, thanks. It's such a brilliant story Nikki. You're a hero Nikki, please
01:31:35Please
01:31:37Please
01:31:42Maiden at three three one. Oh
01:31:45No, it's not available. Can I ask who's calling?
01:31:48This is Katinka Blackford from that's life. Oh
01:31:52Oh, I see
01:31:55Two more children
01:31:58They they phoned in after last week's show, yeah
01:32:04I
01:32:07So desperately want to meet you
01:32:13You don't have to do it
01:32:16Don't I I
01:32:19Asked them to send the children's details to us. I won't have you ambushed again
01:32:33Oh
01:32:39Goodness this girl's done very well for herself. Malena is now Lady Grenfell paints. Oh
01:32:54Was that hummus that's too much
01:32:58Perhaps you've done enough. No
01:33:02We started the whole thing sir, I have to finish it
01:33:09Last week was incredible for us here at that's life
01:33:13We told a story that touched the hearts of so many people. We've been overwhelmed by the response
01:33:20One of the people who was very affected last week is with us here tonight
01:33:24Milena Fleischman now Lady Grenfell Baines was also one of the children that Nicholas Winton rescued
01:33:33Milena I
01:33:35Understand you still have the name tag that you are around your neck when you arrived here as a little girl
01:33:41Yes, I wore this around my neck and
01:33:46This is the actual pass we were given to come to England
01:33:50And so I am one of the children that you saved
01:34:00Mr. Winton having introduced you to Milena, there's somebody else that we'd like to tell you about
01:34:07Hannes Schnabel
01:34:08Was only 11 when he came over here
01:34:12We have his passport
01:34:15With all
01:34:17The official stamps in it, I don't know whether you can see
01:34:21This is how he got here
01:34:23And he told us I don't know how my rescue was arranged
01:34:27I had no idea when I left my parents at Prague station that I would never see them again
01:34:32My older brother Franta was supposed to come here by train in September, but war broke out and I never saw him again either. I
01:34:39Hoped all through the war that they would survive but they were gassed in a concentration camp
01:34:44I've often wondered who was responsible for organizing my rescue
01:34:47I would dearly love to meet him and thank him for helping us children without any hope of acknowledgement
01:34:54Hannes his name is on. Mr. Winton's list and
01:34:57Hannes is here with us tonight
01:35:09I don't want to rush you. No, you've waited a long time for this moment
01:35:13You'll be able to talk to Hannes later
01:35:17However, our evening isn't quite over
01:35:24Can I ask is there anyone in the audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton
01:35:32If so, could you stand up, please?
01:35:43Mr. Winton, would you like to turn around?
01:36:14You
01:36:15Can meet all of these people properly after the program
01:36:20In the meantime, Mr. Winton
01:36:22On behalf of all of them. Thank you very much indeed
01:36:43You
01:37:13You
01:37:43You
