This definitely rings a bell and am lucky that my kids have an awesome dad who often shows up when I can't. Plus a great family/friends network to surrogate for them and some brilliant surgical mums to share the guilt at work @vicky_banwell @klconnor11 @LornaMarson @tegedinburgh

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. In 1938, Sir Nicholas Winton brought Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia to safety in the UK. Fifty years later, That’s Life reunited him with some of those children.

"These children would have been killed by the Nazis."
