In 1933, identical twin brothers George and Peter were born to a Jewish family in Berlin, six months after Hitler became chancellor of Germany. Peter and George were close friends with the non-Jewish sons of their building's caretaker, Mr Schadler, and the four boys would play football together. But as the Nazi party steadily increased persecution against Jews, life for the family became very difficult.

On Kristallnacht in November 1938, when thousands of Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps, Mr Schadler hid the twins' father Franz in the basement at great risk to his own safety. The following year, with just days to spare before the outbreak of war, Mr Schadler lent the family money to escape Berlin by train and come to London. Now 87 years old, Peter and George are about to reunite with their childhood friends and thank them for the great sacrifice their father made to ensure their family鈥檚 safety.
