About This Event
David Lascelles, 8th Earl of Harewood, is a BAFTA-winning film and television producer. He is one of the founders of Heirs of Slavery, a campaign group that seeks to redress the horrors of the Transatlantic slave trade.
He joins us for his new book,Out of Colditz; the astonishing true story of the high-profile hostages who survived Colditz - and the man who spared their lives.
The grandson of a King. The son of the Viceroy of India. Churchill's nephew.
Held captive at the notorious Colditz prisoner of war camp, they were the Prominente: scions of the British establishment, and pawns in the hands of Nazi leaders.
As a German defeat loomed, the SS head of the POW camps Gottlob Berger made a pivotal decision: he would disobey direct orders and spare their lives. "Please remember what I have done for you when the war ends," he asked.
