    One day in 1942, two young men in civilian clothes marched into a primary school in Amsterdam and arrested a five-year-old Jewish boy. The little boy was taken to the headquarters of the security services for questioning.
    He was never to return to his classmates. Instead, he was taken to the Nazi transit camp at Westerbork before being deported to Theresienstadt, north of Prague.
    Against all odds, that little boy would survive the horrors of the Holocaust. His name is Martin Stern MBE.
    Now a retired medical doctor, he’s here to tell us his remarkable story.
