I did not know exactly know what to expect from these programmes because many similar productions have been made previously. But I urge anyone with an interest in history and migration to watch these programmes. The programmes feature British jews exploring the experiences of their families during the holocaust. These people live in Britain now because Britain did not become part of the Third Reich. It saddens me that some British people whose parents were refugees given shelter in Britain choose to take German passports due to Brexit. The programme is well made,moving and inspiring. The BBC gets a lot of negative comments nowadays but I ask the critics,when do ITV and SKY make programmes like this and the answer is never. The programmes do not require any previous historical knowledge,nor do you have to a fan of the presenter's other programmes.
