In late 1938, the British government agreed to grant asylum to children from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, as long as they came alone and would not be a burden on public funds. 10,000 arrived, most of them Jewish. This is the story of the Kindertransport, told through the voices of the unaccompanied children sent to Britain from Nazi Europe. Originally broadcast in 1999. Broadcast on Archive on 4: Kindertransport, 26 September 2015.
