Escaping the Holocaust - Hella Hewison's story
In 1939, Hella was sent on the Kindertransport to Bristol. Her parents were murdered in the Holocaust, but Hella was taken in by a family in Knowle. She told her story of growing up in Bristol during the war, and what happened to her parents to BBC Radio Bristol's Jonathan Holmes.
