In the summer of 1938, small ads starting appearing in the Manchester Guardian from Jews in Nazi-run Vienna looking for families in Britain to take in their children. My dad was one of them and was saved. I set out to find what happened to the others.

This is a really troubling development. The BBC is dropping @BBCHARDtalk which provided a regular masterclass on how a free media should hold the powerful to account, conducted by @stephensackur the toughest, fairest interviewer out there.
THREAD:. 1. PERSONAL NEWS:.Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵.
