Paul Willer, 90, has revealed that when he was 10 he stayed with Clement Attlee and his family for four months until the beginning of the second world war.
Attlee, then leader of the opposition, sponsored a Jewish mother and her two children, helping them to leave Germany in 1939 and move to the UK, and he invited one of the children – Willer – into his home.
The Labour party politician neither publicised nor sought to make political capital from his visitor.
The interview was conducted for the Refugee Voices Testimony Archive of the Association of Jewish Refugees
