"…after hearing the programme I rang up my mother and told her that I agreed with something David Perry said to me; 'Daniel, you have quite a mother.' Listen to the programme, I think you'll agree."

It’s My Story: Hilde Speer, the Sins of The Fathers1x30'

Seven years earlier, the same family had fostered three Jewish girls, who had been in Belsen shortly before. Hilde Speer now meets, for the first time, one of the Jewish sisters, Mirjam Wiener (now Finkelstein), and they compare their experiences. Producer: David Perry
