Eighty years ago around 10,000 mostly Jewish children were taken by Kindertransport from Nazi-occupied Europe to Britain. To mark the anniversary, some of their descendants are retracing the journey from Berlin to London on bicycles to raise money for World Jewish Relief. Between December 1938 and the beginning of the war in September 1939, the children left their homes and families in Germany, Austria, Poland and Czechoslovakia and boarded trains usually carrying just a small suitcase. One of those children was Paul Alexander, who was still a baby when his mother put him into the arms of a stranger in Leipzig. He's on the ride along with his son Nadav and his grandson Daniel.
