KS2 History - Holocaust Memorial Day story - 'The Last Train from Prague'

A short story (approx. 8 minutes) based on the real-life experiences of Milena Fleischmann, part of BBC Teach’s Holocaust Memorial Day resources.

In July 1939, Milena is one of a group of children walking to Prague station late at night. They are going to board a train to England - one of the ‘kindertransport’ arranged by a young British civil servant, Nicholas Winton.
