The British Embassy in Israel held an event to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day at the ambassador’s residence in Ramat Gan, with the March of the Living educational program.

Three Holocaust survivors – Walter Bingham, 101, George Shefi, 93, and Paul Alexander, 89 – attended along with the embassy staff, diplomats and their families.

The three survivors were sent by their families as children from Germany to Britain as part of the Kindertransport. The Kindertransport famously saved the lives of 12,000 children from Nazi Germany.

During the event, they played a documentary called “Journey of Hope: Retracing the Kindertransport 85 Years Later.” The documentary, produced by March of the Living, tells the stories of Alexander, Shefi, and Bingham.

In the documentary, the three spoke about what they remember from their former lives and their new ones.
