As VE Day approaches,Jonathan Charles reports from Nuremberg on the problems he faces as a Jew working in modern Germany. His grandparents also lived in Nuremberg but fled to
England in 1933 on the day Hitler came to power. Other Jewish relatives perished in the concentration camps. Charles finds his own unease about
Germany's future mirrored in young
Germans. The programme is presented by the BBC's Moscow correspondent, Angus Roxburgh , who looks at how Russian veterans view VE Day.
Also, David Loyn reports from India, where middle-class parents are suffering great stress because of the fierce competition to place their four-year-old children in English-speaking private schools. Demand for places far outweighs supply, with youngsters under enormous pressure to cram for difficult entrance exams. Are they being robbed oftheir childhood?

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
