This week marks Holocaust Memorial Day, and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazis’ most notorious death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland.

To honour this event All Things Considered is broadcasting the testimony of a survivor of the holocaust, Ellen Davis, now 91. She arrived in Swansea as a bewildered 10 year old, having been put on a train in Germany without explanation, forced to leave behind her parents and the brothers and sisters she had cared for all her life.

In the first programme we heard about that traumatic escape, and about the impact of Nazi rule on her young life. In this second of two editions of All Things Considered, first aired in 2005, Ellen Davis shares with Peter Baker her first impression of the childless Jewish couple she was placed with in Swansea, where she still lives.
