Hope and Refuge

Pam Rhodes marks International Holocaust Memorial Day and explores stories of when hope and refuge were offered by Christians to Jews fleeing the Nazis in one of the darkest chapters of human history. At the Wiener Holocaust Library in London, one of the world’s leading archives on the subject, Pam hears about the Dutch Christians who saved many Jewish families by building a hiding place in their home. Yvonne Bernstein, a former volunteer at the library, remembers the courage and comfort she found while being sheltered in a French convent as a young Jewish girl. And in Porth, South Wales, Pam meets 90-year-old Renate Collins, who escaped Prague on the last Kindertransport and found a place of safety in the home of a Baptist minister.
