The Secret Jews of Berlin | World War 2 Documentary | Timeline
A surprisingly high number from one city defied the odds and saved themselves. The Jews who survived in Berlin were vibrant, devious, clever and very, very lucky. Five of them tell their stories and reveal their survival techniques. Cantankerous, egotistical and irresistible, the outstanding spirit that helped them survive is still undimmed. This programme is more than just a wartime human interest story. It seeks to show that not all wartime Jews were passive, obedient victims. They were real people who knew how to fight back.

"Harry's Story" - Memories of Hiding Jews and Nazi Brutality during WWII
Many families including Harry's hid Jewish children to prevent them from being sent to concentration camps. This documentary includes a interview with Harry and supported by vintage war footage from the Canadian Army Newsreels - courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada.
Harry used to visit local schools during Remembrance Day services and other times when he was invited to talk to students about WWII. His story is preserved in this documentary so it will not be forgotten.

Inside Story - Does Egypt Support Donald Trump's Jerusalem Move?
In leaked phone recordings, a senior intelligence officer reportedly told leading TV talk show hosts to influence their viewers to back the decision, contrary to widespread condemnation among Muslims.
The newspaper quoted Intelligence officer, Captain Ashraf Al Kholi, asking hosts "how is Jerusalem different from Ramallah"? It’s the base of the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank. Captain Al Kholi was quoted telling the talk show hosts that an intifada could revive Hamas and wouldn't serve Egypt’s national security interests.
Saudi Arabia is also being criticised for what's seen by some as a weak reaction to Trump's policy change. As King Salman publicly denounced Trump, the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, was reportedly urging Palestinian leaders to accept the change.
What does the apparent shift mean for the future of Jerusalem?
Presenter: Laura Kyle | Guests: Sami Hamdi, editor of International Interest; Mustapha Barghouti - Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative; Nicolai due-Gundersen - Middle east specialist, Kingston University, London
