Speer's Daughter Opens Home to Refugees

Seventy-nine year old Hilde Schramm is the daughter of Hitler's architect, Albert Speer - something she has struggled with all her life. She became a driving force in the German peace movement and the fledgling Green party. She has also been very involved in efforts to combat racism, and now, in the wake of the conflict in Syria, has opened her home to refugees. Outlook's Abby d'Arcy went to meet her and two of her Syrian lodgers, Nizar and Ahmad.
