As VE Day approaches, Jonathan Charles reports from Nuremberg on the problems he faces as a Jew working in modern Germany. His grandparents also lived in Nuremberg but fled to England in 1933 on the day Hitler came to power. Other Jewish relatives perished in the concentration camps. Charles finds his own unease about Germany's future mirrored in young Germans. The programme is presented by the BBC's Moscow correspondent, Angus Roxburgh, who looks at how Russian veterans view VE Day. Also, David Loyn reports from India, where middle-class parents are suffering great stress because of the fierce competition to place their four-year-old children in English-speaking private schools. Demand for places far outweighs supply, with youngsters under enormous pressure to cram for difficult entrance exams. Are they being robbed of their childhood?
