Jewish experiences during the war have been well documented in history, fiction and film. But less well known is the story of Jewish families who escaped to Africa from Nazi Germany.
Stefanie Zweig arrived in Kenya at the age of five in 1938 with her mother to join her father who was working on a farm in the bush. That childhood is the subject of Nowhere in Africa which has won an Oscar this year for Best Foreign film. Stefanie Zweig joins Martha to talk about her life. 'Nirgendwo in Afrika' by Stefanie Zweig, published by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag GmbH & Co KG; ISBN: 3453124294
