BBC World Service - Weekend, Families seek answers in migrant boat disaster

A relative of one of the hundreds on migrant boat tells us about his desperate search.

A search and rescue operation has found no new survivors nor recovered more bodies from the boat carrying hundreds of migrants which sank off the coast of Greece on Wednesday. We speak to the relative of one of those on board who travelled to Athens to find out if his cousin survived. We'll also be asking why the migrant route in the Mediterranean Sea is one of the most dangerous in the world. We will be speaking to Medecins San Frontieres and the International Orgnaisation of Migration.

Also in the programme; we reflect on the life of Holocaust survivor Hannah Pick-Goslar, a friend of Anne Frank, which is told in a new book.

Our panellists are German political analyst Jana Puglierin and British author and journalist Ben Judah.
