of Nazi occupied Europe by train in a covert humanitarian mission
which became known as the ‘kindertransport’. Stephen Sackur

She went on to live an extraordinary life of achievement and
philanthropy, blazing a trail for women in business, science and
technology. What lessons can we learn from a woman determined to
