Natasha’s ‘endless tears’
NEWSREADER Natasha Kaplinsky said she cried “endless tears” while collating harrowing stories from Nazi death camp survivors.
The former BBC Six O’Clock News presenter – whose grandparents were Polish Jews – took on the mammoth task of recording the testimony of Britain’s last remaining Holocaust survivors and death camp liberators.
She told the Daily Express: “Although it was a very painful experience, the majority wrote to us afterwards and many said they had slept for the first time without nightmares for 70 years.”
It was while appearing on the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? in 2007 that Natasha, 44, found out many of her family had been slaughtered by the Nazis.
