Archive Hour: Refuge from Tyranny

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Anticipating Holocaust Memorial Day on 27 January, Tony Kushner looks back at the experiences of Jewish refugees from Nazi persecution in Germany and Austria who managed to escape to Britain in the 1930s. Refugees who had somehow survived the horrors of an anti-Semitic regime faced further difficulties when they got here. Many surviving refugees have been interviewed as part of a project at Manchester University, where a unique archive is accumulating, to which this programme has had exclusive access.
