Ben Elton explains how a Welsh school saved his family
Writer and comedian Ben Elton has said how his father, uncle and grandparents were saved from probable death during World War Two by a school in north Wales.
He said his grandparents were German Jews based in Prague in 1938, before the outbreak the war.
His grandfather was offered a position as a lecturer in the UK, but could not bring his children - including Ben's father - with him, he told told Lucy Owen on BBC Radio Wales.
It was only due to a series of "amazing coincidences" that his father and uncle were offered places at Rydal Penrhos, allowing the family to flee together.
