They don't need it anymore

Did you speak to Martin?

147

I did. Uh, turns out
he's not gonna be there.

148
00:10:10,627 --> 00:10:12,794
He's escorting some refugees
out of the country

149
00:10:12,794 --> 00:10:14,794
and then he's heading
back home to London.

150

It... Is... [sighs]

152
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,377
And you, of all people,
should understand that.

153
00:10:21,377 --> 00:10:22,711
Isn't that what you taught me?

154
00:10:22,711 --> 00:10:24,753
Well, I can't just sit here
reading about it.

155
00:10:24,753 --> 00:10:26,210
These people need help.

156
00:10:26,210 --> 00:10:29,586
I was never in doubt
that the cause was just,

157
00:10:29,586 --> 00:10:31,044
only whether Prague is safe.

158
00:10:31,044 --> 00:10:32,210
It's only a week.

159
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:34,502
Uh, I'll be back
before you even miss me.

160
00:10:34,502 --> 00:10:36,794
Nicky, it's not a joke.

161

I know, I know.

162
00:10:39,085 --> 00:10:40,336
I'm sorry, but I...

163
00:10:42,085 --> 00:10:43,294
I have to go.

00:11:39,794 --> 00:11:41,627
with one of our refugees.

178
00:11:42,586 --> 00:11:44,586
Over here.

179
00:11:44,586 --> 00:11:47,919
- [waiter speaking Czech]
- [Trevor speaking Czech]

180
00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:49,253
[in English] Her husband
was picked up

181
00:11:49,253 --> 00:11:50,836
on the street this morning.

182
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:53,878
Picked up by?

183
00:11:53,878 --> 00:11:57,128
Doreen thinks Nazi spies
doing Hitler's dirty work.

184
00:11:57,128 --> 00:11:59,170
What will happen?
To him, I mean.

185
00:11:59,170 --> 00:12:02,211
Ah, thank you, thank you.

186
00:12:02,211 --> 00:12:03,587
He'll be dumped somewhere.

187
00:12:03,587 --> 00:12:04,961
Maybe alive,

188
00:12:05,794 --> 00:12:07,794
but probably not.

189
00:12:07,794 --> 00:12:09,878
[footsteps approaching]

190
00:12:09,878 --> 00:12:11,545
[Doreen] You're Martin's
friend, the stockbroker.

191
00:12:11,545 --> 00:12:15,545
- Nicky. And you must be, uh...
- Unbelievably angry.

192
00:12:15,545 --> 00:12:17,003
- [Trevor] So?
- [Doreen] We've managed to get

193
00:12:17,003 --> 00:12:18,420
Monika into a safe house
for the night

194
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:20,128
and her daughter
on the plane out tomorrow.

195
00:12:21,378 --> 00:12:23,878
[Trevor] Well,
that's something.

196
00:12:23,878 --> 00:12:26,628
So, Martin says you know
your way around a desk.

197
00:12:26,628 --> 00:12:28,045
That's quite an accolade.

198
00:12:28,045 --> 00:12:30,420
[Doreen] It is here.
Paperwork's everything.

199
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:31,961
[in Czech]

200
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:35,754
[in English] And can
I just ask, um,

201
00:12:35,754 --> 00:12:38,211
why... why was that woman's
husband taken?

202
00:12:38,211 --> 00:12:40,003
He ran a newspaper in Germany.

203
00:12:40,003 --> 00:12:41,795
Spoke out against the Nazis.

204
00:12:41,795 --> 00:12:43,420
When it got too dangerous,

205
00:12:43,420 --> 00:12:44,837
they escaped over the border
into Czechoslovakia.

206
00:12:44,837 --> 00:12:46,170
- The Sudetenland.
- Where they thought

207
00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:47,545
they'd be safe.

208
00:12:47,545 --> 00:12:49,253
[Doreen] And so they fled
to Prague.

209
00:12:51,086 --> 00:12:52,295
All right, I've got
a lot to do.

210
00:12:52,295 --> 00:12:53,378
Taking supplies
to the camps tomorrow.

211
00:12:53,378 --> 00:12:54,754
I could use your help.

212
00:12:59,962 --> 00:13:02,337
Can I ask what
brought you out here?

213
00:13:02,337 --> 00:13:06,462
[chuckles] I came 10 years ago
for a study trip.

214
00:13:06,462 --> 00:13:10,545
I just... just love the place,
love the people.

215
00:13:10,545 --> 00:13:13,462
Now they're in trouble.
So I came back.

216
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:16,628
[tram ringing]

217
00:13:23,378 --> 00:13:25,628
[Nicky] Are they all
from the Sudetenland?

218
00:13:25,628 --> 00:13:27,337
[Doreen] Mostly.

219
00:13:27,337 --> 00:13:32,046
Some from Austria and Germany
who fled there first.

220
00:13:32,046 --> 00:13:34,795
Drive an hour north of here,
towards the German border,

221
00:13:34,795 --> 00:13:36,212
you'll see the towns
they ran from

222
00:13:36,212 --> 00:13:37,628
hung with Nazi flags.

223
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:47,879
[Nicky] Dear God.

224
00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:50,129
[Doreen] I know. And there are
thousands more like this.

225
00:14:02,087 --> 00:14:04,504
<i>Ahoj,</i> Hana.
This is Nicholas Winton.

226
00:14:04,504 --> 00:14:05,754
He's here to help out.

227
00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:08,296
[Nicky] Oh.

228
00:14:08,296 --> 00:14:10,587
Hana Hejdukova. Liaison
officer for Czech refugees.

229
00:14:10,587 --> 00:14:12,338
- Hello.
- Your first time

230
00:14:12,338 --> 00:14:15,628
- in Czechoslovakia?
- Yes, yes, it... Yes, it is.

231
00:14:15,628 --> 00:14:18,254
Shame you didn't come sooner.
When there was more of it.

232
00:14:18,254 --> 00:14:19,463
[Doreen] Hana.

233
00:14:21,338 --> 00:14:23,712
Um, can you get the others?

234
00:14:23,712 --> 00:14:26,504
[Nicky] Oh, there we go.

235
00:14:26,504 --> 00:14:28,421
So, you've managed
to get doctors out to them?

236
00:14:28,421 --> 00:14:31,588
[Doreen] Oh, plenty
of doctors already here.

237
00:14:31,588 --> 00:14:33,629
Lots of these children grew up
thinking the worst thing

238
00:14:33,629 --> 00:14:36,004
that was ever gonna happen
to them was piano practice.

239
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,087
[grunts]

240
00:14:39,338 --> 00:14:40,338
[man] Nicky.

241
00:14:42,671 --> 00:14:44,629
[indistinct chatter]

242
00:14:48,129 --> 00:14:50,087
- [child crying]
- [coughing]

243
00:14:55,046 --> 00:14:57,504
[woman speaking Czech]

244
00:15:00,379 --> 00:15:02,171
[girl speaking Czech]

245
00:15:04,921 --> 00:15:06,713
[indistinct chatter]

246
00:15:08,046 --> 00:15:09,796
[group speaking Czech]

247
00:15:18,713 --> 00:15:19,546
[man inhales sharply]

248
00:15:20,504 --> 00:15:22,296
[crying]

249
00:15:26,713 --> 00:15:28,671
[child coughing]

250
00:15:33,338 --> 00:15:35,588
[solemn music playing]

251
00:15:35,588 --> 00:15:37,463
[children crying]

252
00:16:01,421 --> 00:16:02,671
[child giggles]

253
00:16:09,297 --> 00:16:10,504
- Hello.
- [chuckles]

254
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,255
I'm so... I'm sorry,

255
00:16:16,255 --> 00:16:17,504
I haven't got anything.

256
00:16:19,005 --> 00:16:20,172
Oh, wait,

257
00:16:21,088 --> 00:16:22,838
now hold on a moment.

258
00:16:24,838 --> 00:16:26,297
- [chuckles]
- Chocolate.

259
00:16:28,505 --> 00:16:30,671
Here we go.

260
00:16:30,671 --> 00:16:32,255
- [boy 1 speaking Czech]
- [in English] Oh, yes,

261
00:16:32,255 --> 00:16:34,505
of course you'd like some
as well.

262
00:16:34,505 --> 00:16:36,796
- There we go.
- [speaking Czech]

263
00:16:36,796 --> 00:16:38,297
- [children chattering]
- [Nicky] Oh. [chuckles]

264
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:40,088
[in English] Let's see
how far we go.

265
00:16:40,088 --> 00:16:42,172
Oh, crikey.

266
00:16:42,172 --> 00:16:43,505
There's only a tiny bit.

267
00:16:43,505 --> 00:16:45,297
- And little bit for you.
- [boy 2 speaking Czech]

268
00:16:45,297 --> 00:16:46,380
[Nicky in English]
Little bit for you.

269
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,088
[boy 3 speaking Czech]

270
00:16:48,088 --> 00:16:49,630
[Nicky in English] That's it.
That's the last of it.

271
00:16:49,630 --> 00:16:51,505
- There you go.
- [baby crying]

272
00:16:55,130 --> 00:16:59,756
I'm sorry. I'll, um...
I'll bring more, another day.

273
00:17:02,589 --> 00:17:03,921
<i>Foto, foto.</i>

274
00:17:07,630 --> 00:17:09,213
Yes, yes. It's a good idea.

275
00:17:10,172 --> 00:17:12,172
What's your name?

276
00:17:12,172 --> 00:17:13,630
- I'm Nicky.
- [chuckles]

277
00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:14,714
Can you say, "Nicky"?

278
00:17:16,881 --> 00:17:19,130
- [camera clicks]
- There we go.

279
00:17:19,130 --> 00:17:20,797
[child speaking Czech]

280
00:17:20,797 --> 00:17:22,839
- [Vaclav in Czech]
- [children shouting]

281
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,130
How will these children
survive the winter?

282
00:17:30,130 --> 00:17:32,464
Well, they probably won't.

283
00:17:32,464 --> 00:17:34,339
And there are
a dozen more places like this.

284
00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:38,505
Surely, they should be
the priority,

285
00:17:38,505 --> 00:17:40,422
the children, families.

286
00:17:40,422 --> 00:17:42,756
My remit is
to rescue politicals

287
00:17:42,756 --> 00:17:44,589
at imminent risk of arrest.

288
00:17:44,589 --> 00:17:46,380
And I've hardly the money
or manpower for that.

289
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:47,380
What about
the British government trains?

290
00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:49,048
The Kindertransport?

291
00:17:49,048 --> 00:17:51,048
It's only for children leaving
Germany and Austria.

292
00:17:51,048 --> 00:17:52,630
Not from Czechoslovakia.

293
00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:54,672
Unfortunately, His Majesty's
government refuses

294
00:17:54,672 --> 00:17:56,505
to believe these people
are in danger.

295
00:18:07,256 --> 00:18:10,630
[indistinct chatter]

296
00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:12,298
- [Doreen speaking Czech]
- [group speaking Czech]

297
00:18:12,298 --> 00:18:13,922
[Nicky in English] How many
children are we talking about?

298
00:18:13,922 --> 00:18:15,340
Oh, well, we don't know.
That's part of the problem.

299
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:18,881
Thousands. There's refugees
all over the city.

300
00:18:18,881 --> 00:18:20,422
Jewish people, especially.

301
00:18:20,422 --> 00:18:21,547
But anyone, really,
who doesn't fit

302
00:18:21,547 --> 00:18:22,881
into Hitler's master race.

303
00:18:22,881 --> 00:18:24,256
They're banned from travel

304
00:18:24,256 --> 00:18:25,922
and the UK's
refusing entry visas

305
00:18:25,922 --> 00:18:28,714
to families trying to get out.
It's chaos.

306
00:18:28,714 --> 00:18:30,547
Welcome to
the British Committee

307
00:18:30,547 --> 00:18:32,672
for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia.

308
00:18:32,672 --> 00:18:34,964
Hana, get him those files,
would you?

309
00:18:34,964 --> 00:18:36,714
That's quite a filing system.
[chuckles]

310
00:18:36,714 --> 00:18:39,714
[Doreen] Yes. Well,
if the Germans
send in their spies,

311
00:18:39,714 --> 00:18:41,797
at least they won't be able
to find anything.

312
00:18:41,797 --> 00:18:43,630
- [chuckles]
- In any case,

313
00:18:43,630 --> 00:18:45,131
you're the one who's supposed
to be good with paperwork.

314
00:18:45,131 --> 00:18:46,214
[grunts] This is you.

315
00:18:51,506 --> 00:18:53,922
Uh, yes, this report

316
00:18:53,922 --> 00:18:56,048
details
the political activists

317
00:18:56,048 --> 00:18:57,423
in and around Prague.

318
00:19:00,214 --> 00:19:02,465
What's this?

319
00:19:02,465 --> 00:19:05,881
The Führer's travel plans
in black and white.

320
00:19:05,881 --> 00:19:07,839
He's got his sights set
on half of Europe.

321
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:09,340
It's just a question of when.

322
00:19:10,673 --> 00:19:12,089
Who else has seen it?

323
00:19:12,089 --> 00:19:13,298
Half of Prague, I imagine.

324
00:19:15,506 --> 00:19:17,590
Meant to intimidate.

325
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,798
Hitler's never made any secret
of his ambitions.

326
00:19:19,798 --> 00:19:21,381
The allies banked
on appeasing him

327
00:19:21,381 --> 00:19:23,131
with a fat slice
of this country.

328
00:19:23,131 --> 00:19:24,673
Now the vicious shit's just
gonna take the rest of it.

329
00:19:26,089 --> 00:19:28,757
The children.
We have to move them.

330
00:19:28,757 --> 00:19:30,757
Says the man
who arrived yesterday.

331
00:19:30,757 --> 00:19:33,173
Well, I'm not suggesting
it's gonna be easy.

332
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:37,506
A mass transit of children
without money or... or visas?

333
00:19:37,506 --> 00:19:39,256
Well, we'll find a way.

334
00:19:39,256 --> 00:19:42,548
How long are you here for?
A week?

335
00:19:42,548 --> 00:19:43,840
And then you're back
to your bank.

336
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,173
Can we please put that aside
for now?

337
00:19:45,173 --> 00:19:47,465
Well, can we please
be realistic?

338
00:19:47,465 --> 00:19:49,131
We can't give
these people false hope.

339
00:19:49,131 --> 00:19:53,465
Look, we... we have to believe
that this might be possible.

340
00:19:53,465 --> 00:19:55,340
[sighs] Look...

341
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:58,090
Let me try. Let... Let...
Let me

342
00:19:58,090 --> 00:20:00,173
find out the scale
of the problem.

343
00:20:00,173 --> 00:20:04,298
You know, how many children,
names and ages,

344
00:20:04,298 --> 00:20:05,506
where they're living.

345
00:20:07,132 --> 00:20:08,381
There must be
existing information.

346
00:20:12,007 --> 00:20:15,174
Well, the vulnerable groups,
they do have lists.

347
00:20:15,174 --> 00:20:18,673
But, they are scared
to share them.

348
00:20:18,673 --> 00:20:21,631
Well, then, we need
to earn their trust.

349
00:20:22,631 --> 00:20:24,631
We need those lists.

350
00:20:24,631 --> 00:20:25,965
So, we have to persuade them.

351
00:20:27,882 --> 00:20:29,506
Please, let me try.

352
00:20:33,882 --> 00:20:36,923
Good afternoon.
Uh, my name is Winton.

353
00:20:36,923 --> 00:20:39,090
Nicholas Winton.

354
00:20:39,090 --> 00:20:41,424
Yes, I'm ringing from
the British Committee

355
00:20:41,424 --> 00:20:43,424
for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia.

356
00:20:43,424 --> 00:20:46,382
Well, I'm looking to obtain
a list of vulnerable children.

357
00:20:46,382 --> 00:20:48,715
[phone line disconnects]

358
00:20:48,715 --> 00:20:51,548
No, I understand, but we will
have everything in place.

359
00:20:51,548 --> 00:20:53,174
- [phone line disconnects]
- Hello? Hello?

360
00:20:55,673 --> 00:20:57,466
[Nicky speaking German]

361
00:20:58,798 --> 00:21:00,549
[phone line disconnects]

362
00:21:00,549 --> 00:21:03,507
[in English] Yes.
May I at least come and meet?

363
00:21:05,382 --> 00:21:07,174
Thank you for seeing me.

364
00:21:07,174 --> 00:21:08,673
[Rabbi] How could I resist?

365
00:21:08,673 --> 00:21:10,715
You're offering to get
children out of Prague.

366
00:21:10,715 --> 00:21:11,798
A lot of them.

367
00:21:11,798 --> 00:21:13,466
That is correct.

368
00:21:13,466 --> 00:21:15,757
Hitler will be thrilled
to know you're helping him

369
00:21:15,757 --> 00:21:17,215
eradicate Jews
from the region.

370
00:21:20,674 --> 00:21:24,591
With... With respect, uh,
I'm moving children

371
00:21:24,591 --> 00:21:27,341
of all faiths and none.

372
00:21:27,341 --> 00:21:28,882
Separating them
from their families,

373
00:21:28,882 --> 00:21:31,591
perhaps from their religion?

374
00:21:31,591 --> 00:21:34,341
Accommodating them
in safe homes,

375
00:21:34,341 --> 00:21:36,965
with families in foster homes.

376
00:21:36,965 --> 00:21:38,174
Jewish foster homes?

377
00:21:41,424 --> 00:21:43,674
I don't know.

378
00:21:43,674 --> 00:21:45,758
I don't think
that's a question for now.

379
00:21:45,758 --> 00:21:48,466
But it's a question
I'm asking.

380
00:21:48,466 --> 00:21:51,132
You are not the only person
at this table

381
00:21:51,132 --> 00:21:52,883
concerned about the well-being
of Jewish children.

382
00:21:52,883 --> 00:21:55,549
Parents in London
are preparing

383
00:21:55,549 --> 00:21:57,507
to send their children
out of the city

384
00:21:57,507 --> 00:21:59,382
to safety in the event
of a war.

385
00:21:59,382 --> 00:22:02,841
What I'm proposing
is no different.

386
00:22:02,841 --> 00:22:05,507
Your children would
be protected

387
00:22:05,507 --> 00:22:08,299
and returned to their families
as soon as it's safe.

388
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:13,507
Are you Jewish, Mr Winton?

389
00:22:14,132 --> 00:22:15,132
[scoffs]

390
00:22:16,716 --> 00:22:18,924
Why would you ask that?

391
00:22:18,924 --> 00:22:21,716
Because I wonder why a person
would undertake

392
00:22:21,716 --> 00:22:24,507
this daunting task for people

393
00:22:24,507 --> 00:22:26,924
to whom he has
no real allegiance,

394
00:22:26,924 --> 00:22:29,549
in a place where
he does not belong.

395
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:34,466
You're a stockbroker
from London

396
00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:37,758
with a comfortable life,
I presume.

397
00:22:38,883 --> 00:22:41,008
You've done some research.

398
00:22:41,008 --> 00:22:45,133
It is a serious matter.
So, why are you doing this?

399
00:22:45,133 --> 00:22:48,008
What I mean is,
who are you, Mr Winton?

400
00:22:49,133 --> 00:22:50,258
Well...

401
00:22:50,258 --> 00:22:52,591
My father's family

402
00:22:52,591 --> 00:22:56,841
came from Germany
to London in the 1870s.

403
00:22:56,841 --> 00:22:59,133
Till just a few months ago,
we were Wertheims.

404
00:23:00,549 --> 00:23:01,924
We went through the last war

405
00:23:01,924 --> 00:23:04,924
with a German surname
and my mother...

406
00:23:04,924 --> 00:23:08,632
my mother couldn't stand
doing it again, so...

407
00:23:08,632 --> 00:23:12,050
And my grandparents
on both sides were Jewish.

408
00:23:14,342 --> 00:23:17,258
But I was baptised
in the Church of England.

409
00:23:17,258 --> 00:23:18,632
So, [chuckles]

410
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:21,799
I don't know
what you'd call me.

411
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:23,133
I would call you a Jew.

412
00:23:26,425 --> 00:23:28,841
I consider myself a European,

413
00:23:30,133 --> 00:23:31,258
an agnostic,

414
00:23:32,633 --> 00:23:33,633
and a Socialist.

415
00:23:35,467 --> 00:23:37,717
There are children here,

416
00:23:39,592 --> 00:23:43,759
living in fields, in the open,
in... in... in mud...

417
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:47,550
The worst of winter's
still to come

418
00:23:47,550 --> 00:23:50,216
and under the threat
of Nazi invasion.

419
00:23:51,383 --> 00:23:52,717
I have seen this

420
00:23:53,841 --> 00:23:55,175
and I cannot unsee it.

421
00:23:57,216 --> 00:24:01,592
And because I may be able
to do something about it,

422
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:04,759
I must.

423
00:24:06,216 --> 00:24:07,592
At least try.

424
00:24:11,008 --> 00:24:12,467
[sighs]

425
00:24:12,467 --> 00:24:14,425
The task you propose

426
00:24:15,508 --> 00:24:17,800
requires money and visas.

427
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,800
I don't have them. Yet.

428
00:24:24,717 --> 00:24:26,133
But I'll get them.

429
00:24:30,467 --> 00:24:32,383
[clattering]

430
00:24:33,925 --> 00:24:35,216
[drawer opens]

431
00:24:37,675 --> 00:24:40,425
If I send these children
to you,

432
00:24:40,425 --> 00:24:43,759
I'm placing their lives
in your hands.

433
00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:45,925
A very great responsibility.

434
00:24:45,925 --> 00:24:49,009
So, in the end, Mr Winton,

435
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,884
it is a question of trust.

436
00:24:57,217 --> 00:24:59,134
In Hebrew, there is a saying.

437
00:25:00,425 --> 00:25:02,383
[speaking Hebrew]

438
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,508
[in English] Don't start
what you can't finish.

439
00:25:18,051 --> 00:25:20,009
[telephone ringing]

440
00:25:24,009 --> 00:25:26,384
Hampstead, 7946.

441
00:25:26,384 --> 00:25:27,301
Mother?

442
00:25:27,301 --> 00:25:29,550
Nicky! So good to hear you.

443
00:25:29,550 --> 00:25:30,675
Now, listen, I can't be long.

444
00:25:30,675 --> 00:25:32,800
<i>No, of course not. No, uh...</i>

445
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,009
But are you all right?

446
00:25:34,009 --> 00:25:35,384
<i>Are you safe?</i>

447
00:25:35,384 --> 00:25:36,800
I'm perfectly fine.

448
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,925
<i>You don't sound
very convincing.</i>

449
00:25:38,925 --> 00:25:40,468
Just tell me
you're coming home, yes?

450
00:25:40,468 --> 00:25:42,301
Yes, yes, now, listen.

451
00:25:42,301 --> 00:25:43,842
<i>I need you
to do something for me.</i>

452
00:25:44,384 --> 00:25:45,884
Tell me.

453
00:25:45,884 --> 00:25:47,426
<i>And I'm afraid it's not
going to be easy.</i>

454
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,800
Hello, Rudi, I'd like
to send a telegram.

455
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,426
Yes, certainly, sir,
just a moment.

456
00:25:56,759 --> 00:25:58,967
To, Mr Hart, H-A-R-T...

457
00:25:58,967 --> 00:26:00,259
"H-A-R-T."

458
00:26:00,259 --> 00:26:03,092
At Crews Brothers, stockbrokers.

459
00:26:03,092 --> 00:26:04,134
Slight change of plan.

460
00:26:04,134 --> 00:26:07,468
- [Rudi] "Slight change."
- Stop.

you were official. German.

466
00:26:27,051 --> 00:26:29,509
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm sorry. Um...

467
00:26:29,509 --> 00:26:32,343
No, I'm... I'm... I'm trying
to help the families.

468
00:26:32,343 --> 00:26:34,217
[solemn music playing]

469
00:26:41,509 --> 00:26:44,301
- Madam.
- Oh.

470
00:26:44,301 --> 00:26:47,301
Good morning. My name
is Babette Winton.

471
00:26:47,301 --> 00:26:50,718
I'd like to speak
to someone in immigration.

472
00:26:50,718 --> 00:26:52,176
And where have
you arrived from?

473
00:26:52,176 --> 00:26:55,010
From Hampstead, on the 24 bus.

474
00:26:55,010 --> 00:26:57,801
I'm a British citizen
seeking your advice.

475
00:26:57,801 --> 00:27:00,093
- Do you have an appoint...
- An appointment? No.

476
00:27:00,093 --> 00:27:01,676
But I'm happy to wait.

477
00:27:02,593 --> 00:27:04,468
[woman in German]

478
00:27:10,218 --> 00:27:12,010
[solemn music continues]

479
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:18,177
Mr Jovak?

480
00:27:18,718 --> 00:27:19,801
Here.

481
00:27:19,801 --> 00:27:21,010
[man] Come this way, please.

482
00:27:26,718 --> 00:27:27,885
[Hana] <i>Anyone else?</i>

483
00:27:27,885 --> 00:27:31,177
Yes, actually, um,
there was a young girl

484
00:27:31,177 --> 00:27:33,801
that I first saw when Doreen
brought me here, um...

485
00:27:33,801 --> 00:27:35,260
She was about 11 or 12.

486
00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:37,344
She had a very young
baby sister.

487
00:27:37,344 --> 00:27:39,177
Applications are considered
according to protocol...

488
00:27:39,177 --> 00:27:41,676
Oh, protocol. That is
a meaningless phrase.

489
00:27:41,676 --> 00:27:44,676
You repeating it ad infinitum
really doesn't help.

490
00:27:44,676 --> 00:27:48,344
These are
unaccompanied children.

491
00:27:48,344 --> 00:27:49,801
They're children,
they are desperate,

492
00:27:49,801 --> 00:27:51,052
and they are starving.

493
00:27:51,052 --> 00:27:52,676
Like many poorer
British children.

494
00:27:52,676 --> 00:27:55,302
British children are not
facing the threat

495
00:27:55,302 --> 00:27:57,010
of imminent Nazi invasion.

496
00:27:57,010 --> 00:27:59,968
Mrs Winton, there are
other people waiting.

497
00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:05,552
If you don't mind...

498
00:28:05,552 --> 00:28:08,677
Young man, I have something
to tell you. Sit down.

499
00:28:16,469 --> 00:28:21,469
I came here 30 years ago,
from Germany, to marry.

500
00:28:21,469 --> 00:28:23,677
I raised my family here.

501
00:28:23,677 --> 00:28:26,302
My husband is buried here.

502
00:28:26,302 --> 00:28:31,010
And what I have most admired
about this country

503
00:28:31,010 --> 00:28:35,052
is its commitment
to decency, kindness,

504
00:28:35,052 --> 00:28:37,552
and respect for others.

505
00:28:37,552 --> 00:28:40,802
I raised my son in accordance
with these values

506
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:45,052
and he is in Prague, now,
as we speak,

507
00:28:45,052 --> 00:28:48,886
putting these values
into practice.

508
00:28:48,886 --> 00:28:52,302
I am merely asking you
to do the same.

509
00:28:52,302 --> 00:28:53,927
Is that too much to ask?

510
00:29:01,802 --> 00:29:04,677
Ask your questions,
Mrs Winton.

511
00:29:04,677 --> 00:29:07,969
Thank you. Now, I need you
to concentrate

512
00:29:07,969 --> 00:29:09,719
and I need you
to be very clear.

- All right, I'm ready.

585
00:34:29,721 --> 00:34:32,971
<i>A separate visa application
for each child.</i>

586
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:35,929
An individual sponsor

<i>for all the child's needs.</i>

588
00:34:38,637 --> 00:34:43,721
And a fee of 50 pounds to pay

589
00:34:43,721 --> 00:34:45,347
- Fifty pounds?
<i>- Yes, I know.</i>

Wait, there's more.

591
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:49,472
A medical certificate,

592
00:34:49,472 --> 00:34:52,679
uh, and a foster parent
to care for the child

593
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,305

594
00:34:54,305 --> 00:34:57,013

Mr Slonek. Hello.

599
00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:08,013
Hello, hello. Uh...

600
00:35:08,013 --> 00:35:09,846
I have changed my mind.

601
00:35:09,846 --> 00:35:11,888
Here are, uh, photos,

602
00:35:11,888 --> 00:35:15,388
I believe now
you will help them?

- And... Karel. Karel.
- [Jan] Karel.

606
00:35:26,347 --> 00:35:29,430
When will they go... please?

607
00:35:31,638 --> 00:35:32,930
[Doreen] What did I miss?

608
00:35:32,930 --> 00:35:34,638
Nicky was just saying
we have to assume

609
00:35:34,638 --> 00:35:36,388
that this is happening.

610
00:35:36,388 --> 00:35:37,680
[Doreen] Yeah.

611
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,555
We are moving the children.

612
00:35:39,555 --> 00:35:41,347
In big groups. By train.

613
00:35:41,347 --> 00:35:42,513
[Doreen] That's a two-day trip,

614
00:35:42,513 --> 00:35:43,930
which would mean
crossing Holland

615
00:35:43,930 --> 00:35:45,472
and the Dutch have shut
their borders

616
00:35:45,472 --> 00:35:46,597
to Jewish refugees.

617
00:35:46,597 --> 00:35:48,889
And they'd have
to cross Germany.

618
00:35:48,889 --> 00:35:50,513
Yes, but they'd only
be passing through

619
00:35:50,513 --> 00:35:51,889
and on British visas.

620
00:35:51,889 --> 00:35:53,847
With British
foster parents waiting.

621
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:55,347
Well, that is, if you can find
British foster parents.

622
00:35:55,347 --> 00:35:59,056
There are a thousand children
on that list.

623
00:35:59,056 --> 00:36:02,056
The welcome may not be as warm
as you're all imagining.

624
00:36:02,056 --> 00:36:04,722
Then we have
to heat things up.

625
00:36:04,722 --> 00:36:06,805
We have to get
the press working.

626
00:36:06,805 --> 00:36:09,722
Get them moving
and on our side.

627
00:36:09,722 --> 00:36:12,097
Ordinary people
wouldn't stand for this

628
00:36:12,097 --> 00:36:15,722
if they knew what
was actually happening.

629
00:36:15,722 --> 00:36:18,181
You've a lot of faith
in ordinary people.

630
00:36:19,847 --> 00:36:23,764
I do because
I'm an ordinary person.

631
00:36:23,764 --> 00:36:24,847
[Trevor] So am I.

632
00:36:26,014 --> 00:36:27,889
And me.

633
00:36:27,889 --> 00:36:29,930
Well, there you go.

634
00:36:29,930 --> 00:36:31,597
That's just what we need,
isn't it?

635
00:36:32,597 --> 00:36:35,056
An army of the ordinary.

636
00:36:35,056 --> 00:36:39,181
Nicky, you should go back
to London, raise funds.

637
00:36:39,805 --> 00:36:40,972
Raise a stink.

638
00:36:40,972 --> 00:36:43,097
I can do that. No problem.

639
00:36:43,097 --> 00:36:44,555
What about your job
in the bank?

640
00:36:44,555 --> 00:36:46,680
Well, stock market closes
at half past three.

641
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,097
And I'll take care
of this end.

642
00:36:49,097 --> 00:36:50,930
- With Hana's help?
- Of course.

643
00:36:50,930 --> 00:36:52,680
Oh, God.

644
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,638

aren't we?

- Those your socks?

you'll need something

655

for all that paperwork.

656
00:37:22,389 --> 00:37:23,639

00:40:05,223 --> 00:40:08,891
just like this,
just like yours,

706
00:40:08,891 --> 00:40:12,057
living in conditions
you cannot imagine.

707
00:40:12,057 --> 00:40:14,057
The threat of war
hangs over them.

708
00:40:14,057 --> 00:40:16,474
What they have done for you

709
00:40:16,474 --> 00:40:19,932
is to stand
against Nazi expansionism.

710
00:40:19,932 --> 00:40:22,140
All they ask, in return,

711
00:40:22,140 --> 00:40:25,223
is a temporary refuge
for their children.

712
00:40:25,223 --> 00:40:29,016
From whatever horror
is yet to come.

713
00:40:29,016 --> 00:40:31,849
Isn't that the least
this country should offer?

714
00:40:36,182 --> 00:40:37,849
Provided your paperwork
is in order.

715
00:40:37,849 --> 00:40:39,183
[Babi] It is in perfect order.

716
00:40:40,766 --> 00:40:42,349
Then I'll do my best.

717
00:40:42,349 --> 00:40:46,183
Two weeks, where are we going
to find the money?

718
00:40:47,099 --> 00:40:48,099
We'll find it.

719
00:40:48,099 --> 00:40:50,682
[stutters] In two weeks?

720
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:53,974
- And the foster families?
- I know. We'll do it.

721
00:40:53,974 --> 00:40:56,432
- [Babi] Olga Santer...
- [Nicky] Santer, yes.

722
00:40:56,432 --> 00:40:59,891
- [Babi] ... and Petr Slonek.
- [Nicky] Slonek, Petr, yes.

723
00:40:59,891 --> 00:41:02,682
[uneasy music playing]

724
00:41:04,724 --> 00:41:06,891
Right. It's a start.

725
00:41:19,141 --> 00:41:21,807
[Nicky] <i>Jan Slonek, number 174.</i>

726
00:41:22,807 --> 00:41:25,308
Petr Slonek, 144.

727
00:41:28,516 --> 00:41:29,724
<i>Rosa Lenart,</i>

728
00:41:30,516 --> 00:41:33,558

729
00:41:33,558 --> 00:41:35,807
- [Babi] Good.
- [Nicky] Tommy Katschinsky,

730
00:41:35,807 --> 00:41:38,807

Michael Lappert, 46.

731
00:41:38,807 --> 00:41:41,433

[Babi and Nicky speaking
over one another]

735
00:41:48,932 --> 00:41:51,266
<i>I have a family
from Shropshire</i>

736
00:41:51,266 --> 00:41:54,807
<i>that will take a girl,
8 to 11 years,</i>

737
00:41:54,807 --> 00:41:56,974
<i>and Mr and Mrs Horrell</i>

738
00:41:56,974 --> 00:41:59,683
that will take a boy,
just one,

739
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:03,099
but ideally under eight
and brown haired.

740
00:42:03,099 --> 00:42:04,932
- [Nicky] There you go.
- [door bell rings]

741
00:42:08,683 --> 00:42:10,475
Martin. [chuckles]

742
00:42:10,475 --> 00:42:12,266
So sorry I wasn't
with you in Prague.

743
00:42:12,266 --> 00:42:13,641
[Nicky] Not at all.

744
00:42:13,641 --> 00:42:16,558
Anyway, I'm here now.
What can I do?

745
00:42:16,558 --> 00:42:19,391
Well, we've got, uh,
20 children ready to travel

746
00:42:19,391 --> 00:42:20,974
and only eight foster homes.

747
00:42:20,974 --> 00:42:23,058
There's plenty of people
who'd gladly take a child,

748
00:42:23,058 --> 00:42:24,767
but they can't raise
the 50 pounds guarantee.

749
00:42:24,767 --> 00:42:29,308
So, that's what we need
most right now. It's money.

750
00:42:29,308 --> 00:42:30,558
Let me make some calls.

751
00:42:31,266 --> 00:42:32,266
Phone?

752
00:42:32,266 --> 00:42:34,266
Come with me. Coffee?

753
00:42:34,266 --> 00:42:36,725
Nicky, five pounds!

754
00:42:36,725 --> 00:42:40,975
Five pounds, 20 pounds from
the Girl Guides and then...

755
00:42:40,975 --> 00:42:43,475
That's 100 in one day!

756
00:42:43,475 --> 00:42:46,933
<i>And then</i> Picture Post <i>has
raised 90 pounds.</i>

[uneasy music continues]

758
00:43:08,225 --> 00:43:10,433
[Nicky] Ready?
We've foster families

759
00:43:10,433 --> 00:43:13,767

760
00:43:13,767 --> 00:43:17,516
<i>- uh, Kristina Novotka...</i>
- [Trevor] Mm-hmm.

761

[Nicky] <i>And Jan

And their brother?

764
00:43:25,142 --> 00:43:26,975
No. No one would
take all three.

765
00:43:27,641 --> 00:43:28,641
[Trevor] Goodness.

766
00:43:28,641 --> 00:43:31,017
Tell them
it won't be long now.

767
00:43:31,017 --> 00:43:33,434
- We'll be moving them soon.
<i>- Nicky,</i>

768
00:43:33,434 --> 00:43:35,142
it's getting harder here.

769

Take a seat, Nicky.

859
00:51:35,437 --> 00:51:37,729
Yes. Thank you.

860
00:51:44,437 --> 00:51:50,228
It's about, uh, documents
from the Second World War

861
00:51:50,228 --> 00:51:53,104
- rather relevant for today.
- The war?

862

- Yes.
- Oh, it's exciting.

a series of special editions.

Army, Navy?

Oh, well, that's neither
here nor there, is it?

869
00:52:09,104 --> 00:52:10,645
Yeah, I bet you got
some stories.

It's, uh,

873

about refugees.

874
00:52:20,604 --> 00:52:21,687
Refugees?

875
00:52:22,645 --> 00:52:23,645
Yeah.

876
00:52:25,146 --> 00:52:27,271
I'm not really seeing

877
00:52:27,271 --> 00:52:29,812
the Maidenhead angle
in refugees.

- [man over telephone] <i>Hello?</i>
- Hello. [chuckles]

891
00:53:26,646 --> 00:53:28,146
Guess who this is?

892
00:53:28,146 --> 00:53:30,146
- Oh, good afternoon.
- [hostess] Good afternoon.

893
00:53:30,146 --> 00:53:31,772
I'm meeting Mr Martin Blake.

894
00:53:32,605 --> 00:53:33,730
Thank you.

895
00:53:33,730 --> 00:53:35,772
- Oh, certainly.
- Thank you.

896
00:53:35,772 --> 00:53:36,937
If you'd like to follow me?

897
00:53:36,937 --> 00:53:38,188
Yes. Thank you.

898
00:53:44,688 --> 00:53:46,646
[indistinct chatter]

899
00:53:54,146 --> 00:53:56,897
Hello, Martin. Thank you.
How are you?

900
00:53:56,897 --> 00:53:58,271
- Nicky.
- Good to see you.

901
00:53:58,271 --> 00:54:00,396
So, you're footloose

902
00:54:00,396 --> 00:54:01,772
for a couple of days?

903
00:54:01,772 --> 00:54:03,146
Yes. Looks like it,
doesn't it?

904
00:54:03,146 --> 00:54:04,646
[Martin] Time to catch up.
I'm glad.

905
00:54:04,646 --> 00:54:06,355
Yeah, it's not much time,
I'm afraid,

906
00:54:06,355 --> 00:54:09,730
because, um, I've been given
my to-do list, you know?

907
00:54:09,730 --> 00:54:11,605
Grete's reorganising
everything

908
00:54:11,605 --> 00:54:13,521
- before the baby arrives.
- Oh, yes!

909
00:54:13,521 --> 00:54:15,396
A grandfather. You excited?

910
00:54:15,396 --> 00:54:17,730
- No, I'm bloody terrified.
- [laughs] Why?

911
00:54:17,730 --> 00:54:19,688
- I don't know.
- It'll be fun, I'm sure.

912
00:54:19,688 --> 00:54:21,772
Oh, really? If you say so.

913
00:54:21,772 --> 00:54:24,980
Uh, anyway, at the moment,
we're just, um,

914
00:54:24,980 --> 00:54:26,772
throwing out a lot of old
stuff, you know? And, uh...

915
00:54:26,772 --> 00:54:29,272
- Piles up.
- Yes, it does. Yeah.

916
00:54:29,272 --> 00:54:30,438
You have to be ruthless.

917
00:54:30,438 --> 00:54:32,438
- I know.
- Yeah. Box files and,

918
00:54:32,438 --> 00:54:34,230
uh, records of all the old
charity work, you know?

919
00:54:34,230 --> 00:54:35,855
You've always been so busy.

920
00:54:35,855 --> 00:54:37,355
Oh, yeah. [chuckles]

921
00:54:37,355 --> 00:54:39,605
Do you still volunteer
with the Samaritans?

922
00:54:39,605 --> 00:54:40,897
No, no. They kicked me out.

923
00:54:40,897 --> 00:54:42,772
[Martin] What?
What on earth for?

924
00:54:42,772 --> 00:54:46,064
[chuckles] A woman, uh, phoned
in and told me she was, um...

925
00:54:46,064 --> 00:54:47,730
planning on killing herself.

926
00:54:47,730 --> 00:54:49,314
I said, "Oh, dear me,
there must be something else

927
00:54:49,314 --> 00:54:50,605
-"you'd rather be doing."
- [chuckles] You didn't.

928
00:54:50,605 --> 00:54:51,855
[Nicky] Yes, I did.

929
00:54:51,855 --> 00:54:53,897
She told me
that she wanted to visit

930
00:54:53,897 --> 00:54:55,605
her daughter in America.

931
00:54:55,605 --> 00:54:57,481
But her doctor warned her
that the journey

932
00:54:57,481 --> 00:54:59,147
would probably kill her.

933
00:54:59,147 --> 00:55:00,646
I said, "Well, that's exactly
what you want, isn't it?

934
00:55:00,646 --> 00:55:01,772
-"To be killed?"
- [laughing]

935
00:55:01,772 --> 00:55:03,855
Yeah, well,
she had a good laugh.

936
00:55:03,855 --> 00:55:05,356
We both had a good laugh.

937
00:55:05,356 --> 00:55:07,189
She went off to America.
She saw her daughter.

938
00:55:07,189 --> 00:55:08,356
Had a wonderful time.
Came back,

939
00:55:08,356 --> 00:55:09,730
- was happy as a lark.
- Oh.

940
00:55:09,730 --> 00:55:12,397
But, uh, ooh, the Samaritans.
Oh, God bless them.

941
00:55:12,397 --> 00:55:13,646
They gave me
a real bollocking,

942
00:55:13,646 --> 00:55:14,980
pardon my French,

943
00:55:14,980 --> 00:55:16,772
and, uh, told me
I'd broken all the rules.

944
00:55:16,772 --> 00:55:18,730
Well, you know, I couldn't
just sit there, could I?

945
00:55:18,730 --> 00:55:21,147
I mean, you're listening
to a bunch of lonely people

946
00:55:21,147 --> 00:55:22,897
when there was something
I could actually say

947
00:55:22,897 --> 00:55:24,105
to help cheer them up.

948
00:55:24,105 --> 00:55:26,481
[both chuckle]

949
00:55:26,481 --> 00:55:28,147
You might wanna
slow down anyway.

950
00:55:28,147 --> 00:55:30,606
What, with the baby coming.

951
00:55:30,606 --> 00:55:32,022
Why would I want to slow down?

952
00:55:32,022 --> 00:55:33,189
[Martin] Oh, to enjoy it.

953
00:55:33,189 --> 00:55:34,897
You've done enough.

954
00:55:34,897 --> 00:55:36,439
No. It's never enough, is it?

955
00:55:38,522 --> 00:55:40,314
Did you, uh, need more time
with the wine list?

956
00:55:40,314 --> 00:55:41,564
[Martin] Oh, yes, um...

957
00:55:43,230 --> 00:55:44,522
They have nice <i>Château Neuf.</i>

958
00:55:46,397 --> 00:55:48,647
[chuckles]

959
00:55:48,647 --> 00:55:50,147
We'll have the <i>Chablis.</i>

960
00:55:50,147 --> 00:55:51,564
- Oh, dear. [chuckles]
- [Martin] Thank you.

961
00:55:52,938 --> 00:55:54,647
Where were we, now? Oh, yes.

962
00:55:54,647 --> 00:55:57,564
When I was clearing out
all the papers,

963
00:55:57,564 --> 00:56:00,481
I came across that old, uh,
scrapbook from Prague.

964
00:56:00,481 --> 00:56:01,647
- Do you remember that?
- I do.

965
00:56:01,647 --> 00:56:03,647
Yes, you're not throwing
that out.

966
00:56:03,647 --> 00:56:05,105
No, I think it could be quite

967
00:56:05,105 --> 00:56:06,814
an important little record,
in its way.

968
00:56:06,814 --> 00:56:09,314
You know, full of history
we should learn from.

969
00:56:09,314 --> 00:56:11,230
- It is.
- Yeah.

970
00:56:13,606 --> 00:56:15,356
Look, maybe the, um,

971
00:56:15,356 --> 00:56:18,647
the Wiener archive
might like it. In London.

972
00:56:18,647 --> 00:56:20,272
[Nicky] Yeah?

973
00:56:20,272 --> 00:56:22,856
I know people on the board,
I could mention it.

974
00:56:22,856 --> 00:56:25,939
Yeah, well, it'll probably
just gather dust there.

975
00:56:25,939 --> 00:56:28,106
I mean, I tried showing it
to the Editor

976
00:56:28,106 --> 00:56:30,106
of the Maidenhead newspaper,
what's it called?

977
00:56:30,106 --> 00:56:32,814
<i>The Advertiser</i> or something.

978
00:56:32,814 --> 00:56:35,481
And, um, it's funny because
when I told him

979
00:56:35,481 --> 00:56:37,190
about the refugees, he said,

980
00:56:37,190 --> 00:56:39,023
"I don't quite get
the Maidenhead angle."

981
00:56:39,023 --> 00:56:40,397
[Martin chuckles]

982
00:56:40,397 --> 00:56:41,898
So, uh, he's a bit
of a twit, really.

983
00:56:41,898 --> 00:56:44,231
Well, you might like
to donate it to a museum.

984
00:56:44,231 --> 00:56:46,397
In Prague? Or in Israel?

985
00:56:46,397 --> 00:56:47,981
Most of the children
were Jewish, after all.

986
00:56:48,564 --> 00:56:49,647
Prague.

987
00:56:50,814 --> 00:56:52,315
[speaking Hebrew]

988
00:56:52,315 --> 00:56:54,898
[in English] Well... Yeah.

989
00:56:55,939 --> 00:56:56,981
Tell me something...

990
00:56:59,481 --> 00:57:00,898
Do you ever think
about the children

991
00:57:00,898 --> 00:57:02,398
and what happened to them?

992
00:57:02,398 --> 00:57:04,647
[Martin] Yes, yes, I do.
From time to time.

993
00:57:04,647 --> 00:57:05,814
Do you?

994
00:57:07,564 --> 00:57:09,148
No, not really.

995
00:57:09,148 --> 00:57:11,773
Well, maybe a little, recently.

996
00:57:11,773 --> 00:57:15,357
It is incredible.
What you achieved.

997
00:57:15,357 --> 00:57:16,689
Oh, I don't think
of it that way.

998
00:57:16,689 --> 00:57:18,065
[Martin] No, no, no, no,
I mean it.

999
00:57:18,898 --> 00:57:20,731
Truly.

1000
00:57:20,731 --> 00:57:22,190
I mean, you should be proud.

1001
00:57:22,190 --> 00:57:24,231
- Well.
- Save one life,

1002
00:57:24,231 --> 00:57:26,939
save the world. You know?

1003
00:57:26,939 --> 00:57:29,440
Well, it's nothing
to brag about.

1004
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,482
I mean, look at Doreen
and, uh, Trevor.

1005
00:57:31,482 --> 00:57:32,856
They did far more than I did

1006
00:57:32,856 --> 00:57:34,106
and they took all the risks.

1007
00:57:34,106 --> 00:57:36,648
And they actually stayed
in Prague.

1008
00:57:36,648 --> 00:57:40,315
You know, Nicky,
telling people isn't bragging.

1009
00:57:42,065 --> 00:57:43,939
No. [chuckles]

1010
00:57:43,939 --> 00:57:45,981

Hampstead, 7946.

1013
00:58:18,857 --> 00:58:21,106
The Germans crossed
the frontier this morning.

<i>They've already taken over</i>

1015

<i>- the ministry.</i>
- Oh, God.

1016
00:58:23,732 --> 00:58:26,857
[Doreen] Hitler's motorcade
just went past the hotel.

1017
00:58:26,857 --> 00:58:28,190
He was waving.

1018
00:58:32,648 --> 00:58:34,148
[officer speaking German
over speakers]

1019
00:58:40,148 --> 00:58:43,648
[in English] What does
this mean? For us?

1020
00:58:43,648 --> 00:58:47,607
I have to go. We need
to check safe houses.

1021
00:58:47,607 --> 00:58:49,607
- Just be careful.
- [phone line disconnects]

1022
00:58:49,607 --> 00:58:52,315
Doreen? Doree...

1023
00:58:58,149 --> 00:59:00,815
[panting]

1024
00:59:00,815 --> 00:59:03,066
It's not safe for them here.
Please, get them home.

1025
00:59:05,149 --> 00:59:07,066
Just make sure all the lists
are locked up.

What happens now?

1036
00:59:50,608 --> 00:59:53,107
[Nicky] We work harder.

1037
00:59:53,107 --> 00:59:56,649
Instead of standing here
wringing our hands in despair.

1038
00:59:56,649 --> 00:59:58,232
We need more trains.

1039
00:59:58,232 --> 01:00:00,441
We do whatever it takes
to make that happen.

1040
01:00:00,441 --> 01:00:02,274
We find more homes.

1041
01:00:02,274 --> 01:00:04,733
We place the children faster.

1042
01:00:04,733 --> 01:00:06,441
We're doing as much as we can.

1043
01:00:06,441 --> 01:00:08,441
It's not enough, though,
is it?

1044
01:00:11,691 --> 01:00:13,483
Look, we cannot...

1045
01:00:13,483 --> 01:00:16,566
we cannot let
these people down.

Uh, yes, yes.
Well over a hundred.

1060
01:00:47,858 --> 01:00:52,483

<i>So, if you can, please call us
back on 01-636-7247.</i>

1225
01:12:41,863 --> 01:12:44,197
<i>We look forward to hearing
from you. Many thanks.</i>

1226
01:12:46,072 --> 01:12:47,113
[machine beeps]

1227
01:12:47,113 --> 01:12:50,155
Um, I just mentioned it
in passing.

1228
01:12:50,155 --> 01:12:52,529
- [Grete] Hmm.
- But, uh,

1229
01:12:52,529 --> 01:12:55,488
Martin, uh,
he got straight onto them.

1230
01:12:56,571 --> 01:12:59,946
And, uh... You know...

1231
01:12:59,946 --> 01:13:02,863
But I don't want it
to go into a library.

1232
01:13:02,863 --> 01:13:04,322
Why not?

1233
01:13:04,322 --> 01:13:06,571
Oh, well, it won't
teach anyone anything

1234
01:13:06,571 --> 01:13:07,863
stuck on the shelf.

1235
01:13:07,863 --> 01:13:08,946
[chuckles lightly]

1236
01:13:08,946 --> 01:13:10,654
[chuckles]

1237
01:13:12,696 --> 01:13:13,946
Then call them.

1238
01:13:15,447 --> 01:13:16,447
Talk to them.

1239
01:13:22,238 --> 01:13:24,489
Yes. Well, I'm very grateful.

1240
01:13:24,489 --> 01:13:26,113
[woman over telephone] <i>Well,
we look forward to seeing you.</i>

1241
01:13:26,113 --> 01:13:27,197
Thank you.

1242
01:13:32,405 --> 01:13:34,780
- [Nicky sighs]
- Tell me.

1243
01:13:34,780 --> 01:13:38,238
Well, there's this woman who
wants to see the scrapbook.

1244
01:13:38,238 --> 01:13:39,697
She's a historian,

1245
01:13:39,697 --> 01:13:42,238
married to some... a man
from Czechoslovakia.

1246
01:13:42,238 --> 01:13:44,030
His name is Robert Maxwell.

1247
01:13:44,030 --> 01:13:45,405
The newspaper man?

1248
01:13:45,405 --> 01:13:48,072
Yes, that's right and, uh,

1249
01:13:48,072 --> 01:13:50,572
she's running some
kind of a conference

1250
01:13:50,572 --> 01:13:52,322
and she wants to meet me.

1251
01:13:52,322 --> 01:13:54,572
Elizabeth Maxwell,
she calls herself Betty.

1252
01:13:55,822 --> 01:13:57,781
She's French, apparently.

1253
01:13:59,447 --> 01:14:00,447
[chuckles]

1254
01:14:00,447 --> 01:14:02,489
[gentle music playing]

1255
01:14:17,697 --> 01:14:19,655
[doorbell ringing]

1256
01:14:27,155 --> 01:14:28,489
I'm Nicholas Winton.

1257
01:14:28,489 --> 01:14:29,822
Good afternoon.
We've been expecting you.

1258
01:14:29,822 --> 01:14:31,864
[Betty speaking
French distantly]

1259
01:14:37,614 --> 01:14:40,073
[in English] Oh.
Oh, thank you so much

1260
01:14:40,073 --> 01:14:41,405
for coming all this way.

1261
01:14:41,405 --> 01:14:45,280
Here it is. The scrapbook.

1262
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,989
Um, relates back

1263
01:14:48,989 --> 01:14:52,198
to some time I spent in Prague
before the war.

1264
01:14:52,198 --> 01:14:53,572
It's a little heavy,
I'm afraid.

1265
01:14:53,572 --> 01:14:55,156
[Betty grunts softly]

1266
01:14:56,114 --> 01:14:57,198
Yeah.

1267
01:14:58,989 --> 01:15:01,781
Now, a lot of that stuff
is just touristy stuff.

1268
01:15:01,781 --> 01:15:04,572
Postcards and so on
and so forth.

1269
01:15:04,572 --> 01:15:07,530
And, uh... Yes,
there are all... That's it.

1270
01:15:07,530 --> 01:15:08,864
There're some letters

1271
01:15:08,864 --> 01:15:11,405
relating to the transport
of children,

1272
01:15:11,405 --> 01:15:13,365
- uh, to Britain.
- Ah.

1273
01:15:15,031 --> 01:15:16,906
[Betty] These are
the eight children you saved?

1274
01:15:16,906 --> 01:15:19,198
[Nicky] No, no. It was
a few more than that.

1275
01:15:19,198 --> 01:15:21,572
If you turn the pages,
you can see.

1276
01:15:21,572 --> 01:15:24,281
I sent out those cards, uh
for people to,

1277
01:15:24,281 --> 01:15:26,156
uh, choose, you know?

1278
01:15:26,156 --> 01:15:28,114
And, [chuckles] I must say
it was a bit like, um,

1279
01:15:28,114 --> 01:15:29,739
it was bit like selling
soap powder,

1280
01:15:29,739 --> 01:15:31,490
if you know what I mean.

1281
01:15:31,490 --> 01:15:33,323
I couldn't for the life of me
think how else I could,

1282
01:15:33,323 --> 01:15:36,198
uh, find enough families
to take in so many kids.

1283
01:15:36,198 --> 01:15:37,614
Uh, forgive me
but how many children

1284
01:15:37,614 --> 01:15:38,739
are we speaking about?

1285
01:15:38,739 --> 01:15:42,531
Oh. Uh... [chuckles] 669.

1286
01:15:42,531 --> 01:15:45,655
We successfully placed.

1287
01:15:45,655 --> 01:15:48,864
You... You... You brought
669 children

1288
01:15:48,864 --> 01:15:49,947
from Prague to England?

1289
01:15:49,947 --> 01:15:53,198
Well, I mean
with my colleagues

1290
01:15:53,198 --> 01:15:54,448
Doreen Warriner,

1291
01:15:54,448 --> 01:15:56,448
Trevor Chadwick,
and Hana and um...

1292
01:15:56,448 --> 01:15:58,656
But there were so many other
people involved, you know,

1293
01:15:58,656 --> 01:16:01,531
and my own mother.
She was a great help.

1294
01:16:01,531 --> 01:16:02,989
And I suppose... [chuckles]

1295
01:16:02,989 --> 01:16:04,698
I suppose
I'm the only one left, now.

1296
01:16:04,698 --> 01:16:06,406
At least I think I am.

1297
01:16:08,406 --> 01:16:10,365
Uh, the children
that are crossed out

1298
01:16:10,365 --> 01:16:12,073
are the ones
we found homes for.

1299
01:16:12,073 --> 01:16:15,073
[Betty] And the faces
that are not crossed out?

1300
01:16:15,073 --> 01:16:17,406
Ah, well, they were
the less fortunate

1301
01:16:17,406 --> 01:16:20,989
and, uh, it was a lottery,
I'm afraid.

1302
01:16:25,281 --> 01:16:27,239
You wrote to the president
of the United States?

1303
01:16:27,239 --> 01:16:29,989
[laughs] Fat lot of good
he was.

1304
01:16:29,989 --> 01:16:32,323
[chuckles] I never heard back
from him.

1305
01:16:32,323 --> 01:16:35,198
Yeah, it's disappointing,
I must say.

1306
01:16:35,198 --> 01:16:37,281
Oh, yes, now, these, uh...

1307
01:16:37,281 --> 01:16:39,907
Those there are the names
of the children

1308
01:16:39,907 --> 01:16:41,865
and their new addresses.

1309
01:16:43,865 --> 01:16:45,615
Excuse me, Mr Winton.

1310
01:16:45,615 --> 01:16:47,573
This is not exactly
what I was expecting.

1311
01:16:47,573 --> 01:16:48,823
I'm a little taken aback

1312
01:16:48,823 --> 01:16:50,990
at the scale
of your operation.

1313
01:16:50,990 --> 01:16:52,907
Oh. Oh, you know,

1314
01:16:52,907 --> 01:16:55,907
if we'd had
more money, more time

1315
01:16:55,907 --> 01:16:57,907
and more government support

1316
01:16:57,907 --> 01:16:59,990
we could've done a lot more,
I think.

1317
01:17:02,698 --> 01:17:03,740
[Betty] Blank pages?

1318
01:17:04,907 --> 01:17:08,615
Yeah. That was the last train.

1319
01:17:10,406 --> 01:17:12,490
[Betty] Something happened
to the last train?

1320
01:17:14,199 --> 01:17:17,823
Yes, it was the ninth train.

1321
01:17:17,823 --> 01:17:24,032
It was our largest group
of 250 children and uh...

1322
01:17:24,032 --> 01:17:27,282
<i>It was the 1st
of September, 1939.</i>

1323
01:17:27,282 --> 01:17:29,573
<i>The same day
that Hitler invaded Poland.</i>

1324
01:17:29,573 --> 01:17:31,282
<i>The very start of the war.</i>

1325
01:17:33,531 --> 01:17:34,990
[speaking Czech]

1326
01:17:34,990 --> 01:17:37,115
[whistle blows]

1327
01:17:37,115 --> 01:17:40,531
[Gestapo officers
speaking German]

1328
01:17:40,531 --> 01:17:43,240
[foreboding music playing]

1329
01:17:44,074 --> 01:17:46,324
[indistinct shouting]

1330
01:18:03,740 --> 01:18:05,574
[children screaming]

1331
01:18:06,907 --> 01:18:09,032
[shouting continues]

1332
01:18:19,574 --> 01:18:20,699
[child crying]

1333
01:18:25,616 --> 01:18:28,074
[shouting continues]

1334
01:18:31,074 --> 01:18:32,574
[Trevor in English] Hana.

1335
01:18:32,574 --> 01:18:34,240
[Hana] Trevor! [cries]

1336
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:35,532
[yelling] Hana!

1337
01:18:36,157 --> 01:18:37,157
Hana!

1338
01:18:38,783 --> 01:18:40,074
[child speaking Czech]

1339
01:18:42,491 --> 01:18:44,282
[in English] That was
the end of that.

1340
01:18:44,282 --> 01:18:46,115
Bloody Hitler,
that's all I can say.

1341
01:18:50,574 --> 01:18:53,324
We had hundreds
of foster families waiting,

1342
01:18:53,324 --> 01:18:55,115
ready to welcome them, but...

1343
01:18:55,783 --> 01:18:57,240
yeah.

1344
01:18:59,157 --> 01:19:00,491
[knocking on door]

1345
01:19:00,491 --> 01:19:01,866
[Betty speaking French]

1346
01:19:04,657 --> 01:19:05,824
[assistant speaking French]

1347
01:19:10,407 --> 01:19:11,407
[Betty] <i>Merci.</i>

1348
01:19:14,949 --> 01:19:16,783
[sighs]

1349
01:19:20,075 --> 01:19:21,158
[in English] Take milk?

1350
01:19:21,158 --> 01:19:22,240
Uh, no, thank you.

1351
01:19:23,824 --> 01:19:24,949
Thank you.

1352
01:19:26,574 --> 01:19:28,200
That's wonderful. Thank you.

1353
01:19:33,657 --> 01:19:34,657
I'm sorry.

1354
01:19:37,449 --> 01:19:38,824
Must be very difficult for you

1355
01:19:38,824 --> 01:19:41,283
knowing what happened
to those children.

1356
01:19:41,283 --> 01:19:43,075
Well, I don't know
what happened, do I?

1357
01:19:43,075 --> 01:19:45,283
They were taken off the train,

1358
01:19:45,283 --> 01:19:47,449
returned to their families
and...

1359
01:19:48,783 --> 01:19:50,449
that was the end of that.

1360
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:53,783
Surely, I'm almost certain

1361
01:19:53,783 --> 01:19:55,949
that they perished
in the camps?

1362
01:19:58,824 --> 01:19:59,949
Hmm.

1363
01:20:13,908 --> 01:20:17,575
[Nicky breathes deeply]

1364
01:20:21,991 --> 01:20:23,949
[birds chirping]

1365
01:20:38,325 --> 01:20:40,283
[chiming]

1366
01:20:43,158 --> 01:20:47,367
Well, you may be right about
those children, Mrs Maxwell.

1367
01:20:47,367 --> 01:20:51,158
But I've learned to keep
my imagination in check.

1368
01:20:51,158 --> 01:20:52,908
Uh, so I can still be of use

1369
01:20:52,908 --> 01:20:54,742
and not go raving mad.

1370
01:20:54,742 --> 01:20:56,533
[clicks tongue, chuckles]

1371
01:21:00,408 --> 01:21:01,658
Mr Winton,

1372
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,950
around 15,000 children

1373
01:21:05,950 --> 01:21:09,742
went into concentration camps
in Czechoslovakia

1374
01:21:09,742 --> 01:21:13,825
and, uh, less than 200
of them survived,

1375
01:21:13,825 --> 01:21:18,700
and you saved 669.

1376
01:21:19,450 --> 01:21:20,825
Oh. [chuckles]

1377
01:21:22,116 --> 01:21:24,241
Ah.

1378
01:21:24,241 --> 01:21:26,658
Anyway, I'd best, uh,
I'd better be going

1379
01:21:26,658 --> 01:21:29,241
because my wife is expecting
me and I don't want...

1380
01:21:29,241 --> 01:21:31,159
I don't want to get
into any trouble,

1381
01:21:31,159 --> 01:21:32,617
if you know what I mean.

1382
01:21:32,617 --> 01:21:33,992
I would like very much

1383
01:21:33,992 --> 01:21:36,408
to hold on to your scrapbook,
if I may.

1384
01:21:38,742 --> 01:21:41,867
- Well, all right.
- And...

1385
01:21:41,867 --> 01:21:46,909
with your permission, I would
like to show it to my husband.

1386
01:21:46,909 --> 01:21:50,909
I'm sure he will consider it
a very important story.

1387
01:21:51,867 --> 01:21:55,700
Oh. Well, thank you.

1388
01:21:55,700 --> 01:21:57,034
- [laughs]
- Thank you. [chuckles]

1389
01:21:58,575 --> 01:21:59,867
[Grete] As many
of you will know,

1390
01:21:59,867 --> 01:22:02,825
our group was founded in 1965

1391
01:22:02,825 --> 01:22:05,326
to encourage friendship
between Maidenhead

1392
01:22:05,326 --> 01:22:07,784
and its twin towns
across Europe.

1393
01:22:10,076 --> 01:22:14,493
We were met at the airport
by Maria Bechtler

1394
01:22:14,493 --> 01:22:17,201
and travelled by coach
to Bad Godesberg,

1395
01:22:17,201 --> 01:22:19,533
where we were given a warm...

1396
01:22:21,284 --> 01:22:22,284
All right?

1397
01:22:25,617 --> 01:22:28,658
Where we were given
a warm <i>Willkommen...</i>

1398
01:22:28,658 --> 01:22:30,409
- [group chuckles]
- ...by our hostesses.

1399
01:22:30,409 --> 01:22:32,451
[gentle music playing]

1400
01:22:56,701 --> 01:22:59,826
[Grete] Thank you, darling.
Don't trip, it's heavy.

1401
01:22:59,826 --> 01:23:01,034
[Nicky] Hey, Steve.

1402
01:23:01,034 --> 01:23:02,159
Don't strain yourself,
will you?

1403
01:23:02,159 --> 01:23:03,909
- [Steve] Here. Let me.
- Give me a hand.

1404
01:23:03,909 --> 01:23:05,201
Oh, God.

1405
01:23:05,201 --> 01:23:06,743
I can't get over
all the space, Dad.

1406
01:23:06,743 --> 01:23:08,868
Hey, you could fit in
a playpen in here.

1407
01:23:08,868 --> 01:23:10,409
[Nicky] Oh, no.

1408
01:23:10,409 --> 01:23:12,743
- [group chuckles]
- It looks lovely, doesn't it?

1409
01:23:12,743 --> 01:23:14,910
- Doesn't it?
- Yeah. Doesn't it, Dad?

1410
01:23:14,910 --> 01:23:16,076
- Yes.
- [Grete sighs]

1411
01:23:16,076 --> 01:23:17,368
Don't set it on fire.

1412
01:23:17,368 --> 01:23:18,659
[chuckles] Nicky!

1413
01:23:18,659 --> 01:23:20,034
Well, you did last year,
didn't you?

1414
01:23:20,034 --> 01:23:21,284
- [chuckles] I did not.
- Yes, you did

1415
01:23:21,284 --> 01:23:22,368
- and the year before that.
- No.

1416
01:23:22,368 --> 01:23:23,576
He loves to tease, doesn't he?

1417
01:23:23,576 --> 01:23:24,993
- Huh?
- Oh, it looks lovely.

1418
01:23:24,993 --> 01:23:27,493
Some of them new, aren't they?

1419
01:23:27,493 --> 01:23:29,576
- Well, merry Christmas.
- [Barbara] Merry Christmas.

1420
01:23:29,576 --> 01:23:30,534
- [Grete] <i>Merry Christmas.</i>
- [Nicky] <i>Cheers.</i>

1421
01:23:44,785 --> 01:23:45,951
It's for you.

1422
01:23:45,951 --> 01:23:47,035
Oh.

1423
01:23:55,202 --> 01:23:57,160
Oh, this is interesting.

1424
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:58,701
What is it?

1425
01:23:58,701 --> 01:24:01,035
It's from the Editor
of the <i>Sunday Mirror.</i>

1426
01:24:01,035 --> 01:24:04,077
"We would very much like
to publish a major article

1427
01:24:04,077 --> 01:24:06,701
"detailing
the child evacuation."

1428
01:24:06,701 --> 01:24:08,618
But... That's marvellous.

1429
01:24:08,618 --> 01:24:10,327
[Nicky] Oh, yes. It says,

1430
01:24:10,327 --> 01:24:12,327
"With wider publicity in mind,

1431
01:24:13,659 --> 01:24:15,118
"I have been talking

1432
01:24:15,118 --> 01:24:17,701
"to the BBC Television
programme <i>That's Life!"</i>

1433
01:24:17,701 --> 01:24:19,035
Surely not.

1434
01:24:19,035 --> 01:24:21,327
Yes, they want me
to go in and, uh,

1435
01:24:21,327 --> 01:24:23,118
check the historical accuracy.

1436
01:24:23,118 --> 01:24:25,993
[Grete]
But that's such a silly show.

1437
01:24:25,993 --> 01:24:27,118
- What?
<i>- That's Life!</i>

1438
01:24:27,118 --> 01:24:28,410
It's a very silly show.

1439
01:24:29,327 --> 01:24:30,410
It is.

1440
01:24:30,410 --> 01:24:31,659
Well, it's very popular,
isn't it?

1441
01:24:31,659 --> 01:24:33,659
I mean, a lot of people
watch it.

1442
01:24:34,701 --> 01:24:36,535
Should I come with you?

1443
01:24:36,535 --> 01:24:37,785
Why would you want
to come with me

1444
01:24:37,785 --> 01:24:39,118
if you think it's so silly?

1445
01:24:40,077 --> 01:24:41,243
[snorts]

1446
01:24:51,659 --> 01:24:52,659
[Nicky] Oh.

1447
01:24:55,077 --> 01:24:59,369
Hello. Hi, Mr Winton,
such a pleasure to meet you.

1448
01:24:59,369 --> 01:25:00,785
Just gonna take you
through here.

1449
01:25:00,785 --> 01:25:01,868
- Yes.
- [woman] This way.

1450
01:25:04,285 --> 01:25:05,535
What exactly am I to do?

1451
01:25:05,535 --> 01:25:06,785
Oh, they're going
to explain all that.

1452
01:25:06,785 --> 01:25:08,535
- Oh.
- It's just through here.

1453
01:25:08,535 --> 01:25:09,660
All right.

1454
01:25:11,369 --> 01:25:12,369
Thank you.

1455
01:25:13,410 --> 01:25:14,410
Thanks.

1456
01:25:16,494 --> 01:25:18,327
[indistinct chatter]

1457
01:25:21,410 --> 01:25:23,369
[man 1] Camera six.

1458
01:25:23,369 --> 01:25:25,035
[man 2] Can you come
from the other side?

1459
01:25:26,535 --> 01:25:28,660
Thank you.

1460
01:25:28,660 --> 01:25:30,369
[man 3] Thirty seconds
to on air.

1461
01:25:35,410 --> 01:25:39,035
Okay, and you are just here.

1462
01:25:39,035 --> 01:25:41,619
- Couldn't I sit farther back?
- I'm afraid not.

1463
01:25:41,619 --> 01:25:42,994
Oh, I'd rather be backstage.

1464
01:25:42,994 --> 01:25:44,410
I'm... I'm really,
really sorry.

1465
01:25:44,410 --> 01:25:45,660
It's just they told me
to put you here

1466
01:25:45,660 --> 01:25:46,952
and we're running out of time.

1467
01:25:46,952 --> 01:25:47,911
All right.

1468
01:25:48,911 --> 01:25:51,118
[theme song playing]

1469
01:25:51,118 --> 01:25:52,702
[audience applauding]

1470
01:25:55,911 --> 01:25:57,494
[audience cheering]

1471
01:25:58,410 --> 01:25:59,660
[mouthing] Who's that?

1472
01:26:04,078 --> 01:26:05,911
[theme song continues]

1473
01:26:18,410 --> 01:26:20,369
Hello. Good evening.

1474
01:26:26,619 --> 01:26:28,452
[audience laughing over TV]

1475
01:26:28,452 --> 01:26:30,619
<i>And would you want
to be treated by this dentist</i>

1476
01:26:30,619 --> 01:26:34,244
<i>in Bath who goes
by the name Mr F Illing?</i>

1477
01:26:34,244 --> 01:26:36,286
[audience laughing]

1478
01:26:37,161 --> 01:26:38,161
<i>Esther.</i>

1479
01:26:39,619 --> 01:26:42,744
Now, an extraordinary story
has come to light

1480
01:26:42,744 --> 01:26:44,535
about a young man who,

1481
01:26:44,535 --> 01:26:47,078
many years ago,
visited Prague,

1482
01:26:47,078 --> 01:26:51,244
and what he found there
was a terrible situation.

1483
01:26:51,244 --> 01:26:53,411
Thousands
of refugees stranded,

1484
01:26:53,411 --> 01:26:55,827
living
in desperate conditions,

1485
01:26:55,827 --> 01:26:59,495
<i>and at the mercy of Hitler's
imminent invasion.</i>

1486
01:26:59,495 --> 01:27:02,702
<i>This young man, whose name
was Nicholas Winton,</i>

1487
01:27:02,702 --> 01:27:05,370
<i>decided that something
had to be done.</i>

1488
01:27:05,370 --> 01:27:09,952
And so he managed
to rescue 669 children.

1489
01:27:11,119 --> 01:27:12,536
This is his scrapbook.

1490
01:27:13,869 --> 01:27:18,620
All sorts
of fascinating photographs.

1491
01:27:19,827 --> 01:27:21,703
Perhaps you can see...

1492
01:27:23,244 --> 01:27:26,078
Here's a photograph of
Nicholas Winton himself,

1493
01:27:26,078 --> 01:27:29,161
with one of the children
he rescued.

1494
01:27:29,161 --> 01:27:33,244
But at the very back,
is a list

1495
01:27:33,244 --> 01:27:34,828
of all the children

1496
01:27:34,828 --> 01:27:36,661
<i>that he rescued.</i>

1497
01:27:36,661 --> 01:27:40,286
<i>Here is Vera Diamantova,
now Vera Gissing.</i>

1498
01:27:40,286 --> 01:27:43,328
We found her name on his list.

1499
01:27:43,328 --> 01:27:46,661
And Vera is here
with us tonight. Hello, Vera.

1500
01:27:46,661 --> 01:27:48,078
- Hello.
- [Esther] Now, I should tell

1501
01:27:48,078 --> 01:27:49,745
you that you are, in fact,
sitting next

1502
01:27:49,745 --> 01:27:51,828
to Mr Nicholas Winton.

1503
01:27:53,328 --> 01:27:54,370
Hello.

1504
01:27:56,453 --> 01:27:59,119
- [chuckles]
- Hello.

1505
01:28:03,119 --> 01:28:04,620
[sniffles]

1506
01:28:07,453 --> 01:28:08,453
Thank you.

1507
01:28:17,745 --> 01:28:19,578
[audience applauding]

1508
01:28:23,703 --> 01:28:25,370
[Vera] I was reunited
with my sister

1509
01:28:25,370 --> 01:28:27,286
a few years later.

1510
01:28:27,286 --> 01:28:29,037
[Nicky] And your parents?

1511
01:28:29,037 --> 01:28:32,495
My father was tortured,
in Terezin.

1512
01:28:32,495 --> 01:28:33,578
[Nicky] Mm-hmm.

1513
01:28:33,578 --> 01:28:36,162
And then sent to Auschwitz.

1514
01:28:38,536 --> 01:28:40,953
And then on
to another labour camp.

1515
01:28:40,953 --> 01:28:42,495
Ah.

1516
01:28:42,495 --> 01:28:43,870
A fellow prisoner told me

1517
01:28:43,870 --> 01:28:47,329
he thought he'd been shot
on the Death March.

1518
01:28:49,037 --> 01:28:50,037
Hmm.

1519
01:28:51,453 --> 01:28:54,287
My mother, um, died of typhus.

1520
01:28:55,870 --> 01:28:58,245
- [Nicky] So sorry.
- Contracted at Belsen.

1521
01:29:00,037 --> 01:29:02,204
But she knew
that we were safe.

1522
01:29:02,204 --> 01:29:03,995
For a mother,
that is everything.

1523
01:29:03,995 --> 01:29:05,079
[chuckles]

1524
01:29:07,037 --> 01:29:11,204
And, um, my cousins,
Honza and Tommy

1525
01:29:12,828 --> 01:29:14,537
were on the last train.

1526
01:29:16,412 --> 01:29:18,204
Yeah.

1527
01:29:18,204 --> 01:29:20,454
[Vera] Though I never
saw them again, of course.

1528
01:29:20,454 --> 01:29:22,496
[Vera breathing shakily]

1529
01:29:25,953 --> 01:29:27,703

Nicky.

01:30:26,579 --> 01:30:28,537

1538
01:30:42,871 --> 01:30:43,954
[Nicky] I'm sorry.

1539
01:30:43,954 --> 01:30:45,996

1540
01:30:56,662 --> 01:30:58,954
I'm sorry. Very sorry.

1541
01:30:58,954 --> 01:31:00,038
Don't.

1542
01:31:02,829 --> 01:31:04,163
[doorbell rings]

1543
01:31:06,954 --> 01:31:07,954
I'll get it.

1544
01:31:13,246 --> 01:31:15,121
Nicky! You've not
called me back.

1545
01:31:15,121 --> 01:31:16,788
I left messages!

1546
01:31:16,788 --> 01:31:19,621
- Doesn't it follow that I don't
want to talk to you?
- Oh, come on, come on,
let me do a piece.

1547
01:31:19,621 --> 01:31:20,954
No, thanks.

1548
01:31:20,954 --> 01:31:23,080
Come on. It's such
a brilliant story, Nicky.

1549
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:27,205
You're a hero. Nicky, please.
Please.

1550
01:31:27,205 --> 01:31:28,913
- [Grete] What...
- [Nicky] It's not about me.

1551
01:31:28,913 --> 01:31:29,996
- [telephone ringing]
- Nicky, come on,

1552
01:31:29,996 --> 01:31:31,080
give me a chance.

1553
01:31:33,538 --> 01:31:35,121
Maidenhead, 3310.

1554
01:31:35,121 --> 01:31:36,662
[woman] <i>Hello, is
Mister Winton there, please?</i>

1555
01:31:36,662 --> 01:31:39,788
No, he's not available.
Can I ask who's calling?

1556
01:31:39,788 --> 01:31:42,704
<i>This is Katinka Blackford
from</i> That's Life!

1557
01:31:42,704 --> 01:31:44,746
Oh. Oh, I see.

1558
01:31:46,580 --> 01:31:49,871
[Nicky] Two more children, huh?

1559
01:31:49,871 --> 01:31:54,205
They... They phoned in
after last week's show.

1560
01:31:54,205 --> 01:31:56,705
[Nicky] Yeah.

1561
01:31:56,705 --> 01:32:00,246
[clicks tongue] They so
desperately want to meet you.

1562
01:32:00,246 --> 01:32:01,413
[Nicky chuckles]

1563
01:32:04,747 --> 01:32:06,455
You don't have to do it.

1564
01:32:07,705 --> 01:32:08,705
Don't I?

1565
01:32:10,830 --> 01:32:13,538
I asked them to send
the children's details to us.

1566
01:32:14,913 --> 01:32:16,705
I won't have you
ambushed again.

1567

[Grete] Milena...

1569
01:32:30,830 --> 01:32:33,246
Well, goodness. This girl's
done very well for herself.

1570
01:32:33,246 --> 01:32:34,789
[Nicky chuckles] Yeah.

1571
01:32:34,789 --> 01:32:36,580
[Grete] Milena is now
Lady Grenfell Baines.

1572
01:32:36,580 --> 01:32:38,121
Oh.

1573
01:32:38,121 --> 01:32:40,997
[chuckles] All right.

1574
01:32:41,914 --> 01:32:43,205
[printer beeps]

1575
01:32:45,538 --> 01:32:48,372
- Who's that?
- [Nicky] Hanus.

1576
01:32:48,372 --> 01:32:50,830
Perhaps it's too much.
Perhaps you've done enough.

1577
01:32:50,830 --> 01:32:52,039
No, I...

1578
01:32:53,288 --> 01:32:55,830
I started
the whole thing, so...

1579
01:32:55,830 --> 01:32:57,246
I have to finish it.

1580
01:33:00,330 --> 01:33:04,081
Last week was incredible
for us here at <i>That's Life!</i>

1581
01:33:04,081 --> 01:33:07,580
We told a story that touched
the hearts of so many people.

1582
01:33:07,580 --> 01:33:10,997
We've been overwhelmed
by the response.

1583
01:33:10,997 --> 01:33:13,830
One of the people who was
very affected last week

1584
01:33:13,830 --> 01:33:16,164
is with us here tonight.

1585
01:33:16,164 --> 01:33:20,122
Milena Fleischmann,
now Lady Grenfell Baines,

1586
01:33:20,122 --> 01:33:24,206
was also one of the children
that Nicholas Winton rescued.

1587
01:33:24,206 --> 01:33:28,206
Milena, I understand
you still have the name tag

1588
01:33:28,206 --> 01:33:29,580
that you wore around your neck

1589
01:33:29,580 --> 01:33:32,497
when you arrived here
as a little girl.

1590
01:33:32,497 --> 01:33:35,830
Yes, I wore this
around my neck

1591
01:33:35,830 --> 01:33:39,373
and this is the actual pass

1592
01:33:39,373 --> 01:33:42,580
we were given
to come to England.

1593
01:33:42,580 --> 01:33:45,663
So, I am one of the children
that you saved.

1594
01:33:51,622 --> 01:33:54,789
[Esther] Now, Mr Winton, having
introduced you to Milena,

1595
01:33:54,789 --> 01:33:57,955
there's somebody else that
we'd like to tell you about.

1596
01:33:57,955 --> 01:34:02,289
Hanus Schnabel was only 11
when he came over here.

1597
01:34:03,747 --> 01:34:04,914
We have his passport

1598
01:34:06,664 --> 01:34:09,747
with all the official
stamps in it.

1599
01:34:09,747 --> 01:34:12,247
I don't know
whether you can see,

1600
01:34:12,247 --> 01:34:14,789
but this is how he got here.

1601
01:34:14,789 --> 01:34:16,289
And he told us...

1602
01:34:16,289 --> 01:34:18,623
[Gavin] "I don't know how
my rescue was arranged.

1603
01:34:18,623 --> 01:34:21,247
"I had no idea when I left
my parents at Prague station

1604
01:34:21,247 --> 01:34:23,122
"that I would never
see them again.

1605
01:34:23,122 --> 01:34:25,122
"My older brother Franta
was supposed

1606
01:34:25,122 --> 01:34:26,831
"to come here by train
in September,

1607
01:34:26,831 --> 01:34:29,706
"but war broke out and I never
saw him again either.

1608
01:34:29,706 --> 01:34:32,247
"I hoped all through the war
that they would survive,

1609
01:34:32,247 --> 01:34:35,206
"but they were gassed
in a concentration camp.

1610
01:34:35,206 --> 01:34:37,164
"I've often wondered
who was responsible

1611
01:34:37,164 --> 01:34:38,915
"for organising my rescue.

1612
01:34:38,915 --> 01:34:40,331
"I would dearly love
to meet him

1613
01:34:40,331 --> 01:34:42,331
"and thank him
for helping us children

1614
01:34:42,331 --> 01:34:44,915
"without any hope
of acknowledgement."

1615
01:34:44,915 --> 01:34:48,539
Hanus' name is
on Mr Winton's list.

1616
01:34:48,539 --> 01:34:51,164
And Hanus is here
with us tonight.

1617
01:34:54,748 --> 01:34:55,956
Oh. [chuckles]

1618
01:34:55,956 --> 01:34:57,040
[whispering] Thank you.

1619
01:35:00,373 --> 01:35:02,040
[Esther] Now, I don't want
to rush you.

1620
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,623
I know you've waited
a long time for this moment,

1621
01:35:04,623 --> 01:35:07,082
but you'll be able
to talk to Hanus later.

1622
01:35:08,706 --> 01:35:11,873
However, our evening
isn't quite over.

1623
01:35:11,873 --> 01:35:13,498
[sniffles]

1624
01:35:15,956 --> 01:35:19,414
Can I ask, is there anyone
in the audience tonight

1625
01:35:19,414 --> 01:35:21,956
who owes their life
to Nicholas Winton?

1626
01:35:21,956 --> 01:35:23,373
[indistinct chatter]

1627
01:35:23,373 --> 01:35:25,498
If so, could you
stand up, please?

1628
01:35:44,706 --> 01:35:46,998
Mr Winton, would you like
to turn around?

1629
01:35:54,831 --> 01:35:56,790
[captivating music playing]

1630
01:36:06,332 --> 01:36:07,915
You can meet
all of these people

1631
01:36:07,915 --> 01:36:10,915
properly after the programme.

1632
01:36:10,915 --> 01:36:15,915
In the meantime, Mr Winton,
on behalf of all of them,

1633
01:36:15,915 --> 01:36:17,790
thank you very much indeed.

1634
01:36:18,956 --> 01:36:20,790
[applauding]

1635
01:36:39,207 --> 01:36:41,040
[captivating music continues]

1636
01:36:54,916 --> 01:36:56,040
[sniffles]

1637
01:37:02,624 --> 01:37:04,457
[captivating music continues]

1638
01:37:29,083 --> 01:37:30,916
[captivating music continues]

1639
01:37:43,208 --> 01:37:45,041

1640
01:37:52,124 --> 01:37:54,124

[baby cooing]

1644
01:38:21,665 --> 01:38:22,999
See Grandpa?

1645

[doorbell rings]

1646
01:38:29,208 --> 01:38:30,625
[indistinct chatter]

1647
01:38:30,625 --> 01:38:33,249
- Hello. Hello, Vera. Come in.
- Oh, Nicky.

1648
01:38:33,249 --> 01:38:35,375
- Hello.
- [laughter]

1649
01:38:35,375 --> 01:38:38,208
- Good, go through. Hello.
- Hi.

1650
01:38:38,208 --> 01:38:40,041
- [Nicky] What's your name?
- [Nicola] Hi,

1651
01:38:40,041 --> 01:38:41,874
- I'm Vera's daughter.
- [Nicky] Hello.

1652
01:38:41,874 --> 01:38:43,166
- [Nicola] Nice to meet you.
- [Nicky] Hello. Come through.

1653
01:38:43,166 --> 01:38:44,625
[chuckles] This is
so beautiful.

1654
01:38:44,625 --> 01:38:45,999
Oh, this is Nicola.

1655
01:38:45,999 --> 01:38:47,500
- Oh, hello. Hello.
- My daughter.

1656
01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:49,124
And this is Rebecca,
my little grandchild.

1657
01:38:49,124 --> 01:38:50,708
- Wow. Hello.
- [Nicola] Say, "Hello."

1658
01:38:50,708 --> 01:38:52,666
Hi. So, you do have a pool.

1659
01:38:52,666 --> 01:38:53,750
We do have a pool.

1660
01:38:53,750 --> 01:38:55,166
[indistinct chatter]

1661
01:38:55,166 --> 01:38:57,916
Nicky, turn the music down
a little bit, darling.

1662
01:38:57,916 --> 01:39:00,249
[opera music continues]

1663
01:39:02,666 --> 01:39:04,625
Hello, young man. Hello.

1664
01:39:04,625 --> 01:39:06,541
[Barbara] Right,
be careful, though.

1665
01:39:06,541 --> 01:39:07,625
Not too fast.

1666
01:39:07,625 --> 01:39:09,666
Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?

1667
01:39:09,666 --> 01:39:11,124
Oh, my goodness.

1668
01:39:11,124 --> 01:39:12,458
[Grete] Darling, you must
be really careful here.

1669
01:39:12,458 --> 01:39:15,172
Oh, you have
a lovely pool, Nicky.

1670
01:39:15,172 --> 01:39:16,712
Yeah. I like to swim.

1671
01:39:19,792 --> 01:39:21,080
- You remember?
- Mm.

1672
01:39:23,875 --> 01:39:25,073
[Grete] You all got towels?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

1673
01:39:25,073 --> 01:39:27,248
- [Rebecca] Can we go in?
- [Grete] Yes!

1674
01:39:27,248 --> 01:39:29,113
What's the temperature like?

1675
01:39:29,113 --> 01:39:30,799
It's all right
if you're a penguin.

1676
01:39:30,799 --> 01:39:32,974
[Vera chuckles]

1677
01:39:32,974 --> 01:39:35,326
[Vera] Let's have
a little go, shall we?

1678
01:39:35,326 --> 01:39:38,122
- Oh. Gotcha!
- [Nicky chuckles]

1679
01:39:38,832 --> 01:39:40,607
Oh! [chuckles]

1680
01:39:46,554 --> 01:39:48,818
- [Nicky chuckles]
- Isn't that lovely.

1681
01:39:50,194 --> 01:39:52,147
[captivating music playing]

1682
01:39:59,470 --> 01:40:01,556
