:20:00
"´...that the British government,
the House of Commons...
:20:03
"´...had discussed the destiny
of Jews in Germany after...
:20:07
"´...aII this pubIicity...
:20:08
"´...and they are disgusted."´
:20:12
´´They came to the conclusion...
:20:14
´´...to accept children for a certain time.
:20:17
´´We have an office for the operations.
:20:19
"´See what you can do."´
:20:25
As the transports got underway
in Germany and Austria...
:20:28
...thousands of Sudetenland refugees
continued to flee to Prague.
:20:34
English stockbroker Nicholas Winton...
:20:36
...was summoned by a friend
to view the situation for himself.
:20:40
He toured refugee camps
with Doreen Warriner...
:20:43
...a representative of the British Committee
for Refugees from Czechoslovakia.
:20:50
We did have the feeIing
that the position was much more urgent...
:20:54
...than anybody in London thought.
:21:05
Doreen Warriner said, ´´l don´t know
what we will do about the children. ´´
:21:10
Almost spontaneously l said,
´´Well, when l get back to England...
:21:14
´´...l find that the Home Office
will allow them in...
:21:17
´´...we´ll try and get some of them
into England. ´´
:21:21
And when l went to the Home Office,
they said:
:21:25
´´Under certain conditions, you can bring in
as many children as you like. ´´
:21:30
We had to produce...
:21:31
...somebody who´d guarantee 50
against their re-immigration...
:21:36
...which is about 1,000 today.
It was quite a Iot of money.
:21:40
And then I had to find a famiIy
who´d take each individuaI chiId.
:21:45
lt certainly wasn´t easy,
but it wasn´t that difficult.
:21:48
lt´s easier to get somebody
to take a child than to take a grown-up.
:21:54
l tried to get America involved...
:21:57
...and wrote to a lot of the senators...
:21:59
...and got a Iot of answers
saying how concerned they were...
