Eva Paddock and Milena Grenfell-Baines (née Fleischmann) are two Jewish sisters who lived in Prague. On 31 July 1939, they left the city on the last train organised by Nicholas Winton as part of the Kindertransport initiative to Great Britain. The journey saved their lives, sparing them the fate of hundreds of thousands of Jews who perished in the Holocaust. In this interview, given in Dublin on 26 January 2026, they tell us about the journey and their first year in Great Britain, as well as about the impact these events had on their lives.
